Definitions

  • the present technology relates to molecules comprising or consisting of at least one immunoglobulin single variable domain (ISVD) suitable for site-specific conjugation.
  • ISVD immunoglobulin single variable domain
  • the technology further relates to methods for producing such molecules and ISVDs, nucleic acids encoding such molecules or part of such molecules; to host cells comprising such nucleic acids and/or expressing or capable of expressing such molecules or part of such molecules; to compositions, and in particular to pharmaceutical compositions that comprise such molecules, compounds, nucleic acids and/or host cells; and to uses of such molecules, nucleic acids, host cells and/or compositions, in particular for labelling, prophylactic, therapeutic and/or diagnostic purposes.
  • TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND Protein-based therapeutics (referred to as “Biologicals”) are creating new therapeutic strategies which are hard to achieve via the classic, small molecule-based therapeutics.
  • ADCs antibody-drug conjugates
  • Fatima SW. and Khare SK. (“Benefits and challenges of antibody drug conjugates as novel form of chemotherapy”, J Control Release, 2022, 341:555- 565) review recent clinical advances of each component of ADCs (antibody/linker/payload) and how the individual component influences the activity of ADCs. This is also shown, e.g., in Rader, C., “Chemically programmed antibodies”, Trends in Biotechnology, 2014, 32(4).
  • Antibody-drug conjugates typically rely on the high specificity and affinity of the antibodies, their extended circulatory half-life as well as other effector functions (e.g., complement- dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody- dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP).
  • CDC complement- dependent cytotoxicity
  • ADCC antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity
  • ADCP antibody- dependent cellular phagocytosis
  • antibody-drug conjugates and related molecules such as chemically programmed antibodies, are chosen because of at least one of these functionalities (their targeting properties, half-life extension properties and/or other effector functions, as described above).
  • the manufacture of biologicals mainly relies on recombinant production and is hence restricted to polypeptide production which can combine naturally into one functional unit (i.e., IgGs).
  • Typical conjugation strategies are based on site specific cysteine or stochastic lysine conjugations (see, e.g., Zhou et al., 2021, Pharmaceuticals, 14: 672; Sadiki et al., 2020, Antibody Therapeutics, 3: 271).
  • the rise of non-canonical or novel Amino Acids (nAAs) further add options for conjugation methodology (see, e.g., Malyshev and Romesberg, 2015, Angew Chem Int Ed Engl., 54(41); Zhang et al., 2017, PNAS, 1141317).
  • the production of proteins comprising non-natural amino acids may be a technically challenging exercise, in particular if the protein comprises more than one non-natural amino acids.
  • Site-specific conjugation of ADCs refers to the process of attaching drug molecules to specific sites on antibody molecules. This process ensures that the drug attaches to the designated location on the antibody, thereby minimizing the chance of random or nonspecific binding.
  • site-specific conjugation helps maintain the binding affinity and specificity of the antibody for its target antigen, while also optimizing the pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy of the drug. It enables precise control of the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), ensuring consistent and well-defined drug loading on each antibody molecule.
  • DAR drug-to-antibody ratio
  • Stochastic conjugation generates heterogeneous products with varied numbers of drugs coupled across several possible sites, creating significant challenges for process consistency and product characterization.
  • the present technology provides molecules comprising or consisting of at least one ISVD that comprises at least one conjugation site or attachment point, which is a primary amine, e.g., present in the side chain of at least one lysine present on the ISVD or at its N-terminus and suitable for site- specific conjugation.

  • the compound may have ten or more amino acids; twenty-five or more amino acids; fifty or more amino acids; one hundred or more amino acids, two hundred or more amino acids, and even three hundred or more amino acids.
  • polypeptides generally comprise fewer amino acids than proteins, although there is no art-recognized cut-off point of the number of amino acids that distinguish a polypeptide and a protein; that polypeptides may be made by chemical synthesis or recombinant methods; and that proteins are generally made in vitro or in vivo by recombinant methods as known in the art.
  • the amide bond in the primary structure of polypeptides is in the order that the amino acids are written, in which the amine end (N-terminus) of a polypeptide is always on the left, while the acid end (C-terminus) is on the right.
  • Any amino acid sequence that contains post-translationally modified amino acids may be described as the amino acid sequence that is initially translated using the symbols shown in Table 1 with the modified positions; e.g., hydroxylations or glycosylations, but these modifications shall not be shown explicitly in the amino acid sequence.
  • Any peptide or protein that can be expressed as a sequence modified linkages, cross links and end caps, non-peptidyl bonds, etc., is embraced by this definition.
  • the terms “specificity”, “binding specifically” or “specific binding” refer to the number of different target molecules, such as antigens, to which a particular binding unit can bind with sufficiently high affinity (see below).
  • binding units such as binding ISVDs, specifically bind to their designated targets.
  • the specificity/selectivity of a binding unit can be determined based on affinity.
  • the affinity denotes the strength or stability of a molecular interaction.
  • the affinity is commonly given by the K D , or dissociation constant, which has units of mol/litre (or M).
  • the affinity can also be expressed as an association constant, K A , which equals 1/K D and has units of (mol/ litre) -1 (or M -1 ).
  • the affinity is a measure for the binding strength between a moiety and a binding site on a target molecule: the lower the value of the K D , the stronger the binding strength between a target molecule and a targeting moiety.

  • VHH domain has been chosen in order to distinguish these variable domains from the heavy chain variable domains that are present in conventional 4-chain antibodies, which are referred to herein as “V H domains”, and from the light chain variable domains that are present in conventional 4-chain antibodies, which are referred to herein as “V L domains”.
  • V HH domains can be obtained from heavy chain-only antibodies (HCAbs) that are circulating in Camelidae, see e.g., Muyldermans S., “A guide to: generation and design of nanobodies”, FEBS J., 2021, 288(7):2084-2102.

Description

PROTEIN-BASED CARRIERS FOR SITE-SPECIFIC AMINE CONJUGATION FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY The present technology relates to molecules comprising or consisting of at least one immunoglobulin single variable domain (ISVD) suitable for site-specific conjugation. The technology further relates to methods for producing such molecules and ISVDs, nucleic acids encoding such molecules or part of such molecules; to host cells comprising such nucleic acids and/or expressing or capable of expressing such molecules or part of such molecules; to compositions, and in particular to pharmaceutical compositions that comprise such molecules, compounds, nucleic acids and/or host cells; and to uses of such molecules, nucleic acids, host cells and/or compositions, in particular for labelling, prophylactic, therapeutic and/or diagnostic purposes. TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND Protein-based therapeutics (referred to as “Biologicals”) are creating new therapeutic strategies which are hard to achieve via the classic, small molecule-based therapeutics. One fast-growing field comprises conjugation-based therapeutics such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). For instance, Fatima SW. and Khare SK. (“Benefits and challenges of antibody drug conjugates as novel form of chemotherapy”, J Control Release, 2022, 341:555- 565) review recent clinical advances of each component of ADCs (antibody/linker/payload) and how the individual component influences the activity of ADCs. This is also shown, e.g., in Rader, C., “Chemically programmed antibodies”, Trends in Biotechnology, 2014, 32(4). Antibody-drug conjugates typically rely on the high specificity and affinity of the antibodies, their extended circulatory half-life as well as other effector functions (e.g., complement- dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody- dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). Hence, antibody-drug conjugates and related molecules, such as chemically programmed antibodies, are chosen because of at least one of these functionalities (their targeting properties, half-life extension properties and/or other effector functions, as described above). Currently, the manufacture of biologicals mainly relies on recombinant production and is hence restricted to polypeptide production which can combine naturally into one functional unit (i.e., IgGs). Typical conjugation strategies are based on site specific cysteine or stochastic lysine conjugations (see, e.g., Zhou et al., 2021, Pharmaceuticals, 14: 672; Sadiki et al., 2020, Antibody Therapeutics, 3: 271). The rise of non-canonical or novel Amino Acids (nAAs) further add options for conjugation methodology (see, e.g., Malyshev and Romesberg, 2015, Angew Chem Int Ed Engl., 54(41); Zhang et al., 2017, PNAS, 1141317). However, the production of proteins comprising non-natural amino acids may be a technically challenging exercise, in particular if the protein comprises more than one non-natural amino acids. Site-specific conjugation of ADCs refers to the process of attaching drug molecules to specific sites on antibody molecules. This process ensures that the drug attaches to the designated location on the antibody, thereby minimizing the chance of random or nonspecific binding. By conjugating a drug to a specific site on the antibody, site-specific conjugation helps maintain the binding affinity and specificity of the antibody for its target antigen, while also optimizing the pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy of the drug. It enables precise control of the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), ensuring consistent and well-defined drug loading on each antibody molecule. Stochastic conjugation generates heterogeneous products with varied numbers of drugs coupled across several possible sites, creating significant challenges for process consistency and product characterization. It is also limited in understanding the relationships between the site/extent of drug loading and ADC attributes such as efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity. The non-specific conjugation would also result in more off-target side- effects, leading to relatively low maximum tolerated dose. Several site-specific ADC technologies have been developed. For instance, site-specific ADC have been generated by using native or engineered amino acids, including cysteines (Biomedicines 2017, 5, 64). However, this has the drawback that alkylation by maleimide is reversible (i.e., deconjugation), which has been observed in vivo (Wei C. et al., “Where did the linker-payload go? a quantitative investigation on the destination of the released linker-payload from an antibody-drug conjugate with a maleimide linker in plasma”, Anal Chem., 2016, 88(9):4979- 86). There is thus a need of further therapeutic strategies which allow for site-specific conjugation. In particular, there is a need for technically straightforward, simple and efficient site-specific conjugation technologies. SUMMARY OF THE TECHNOLOGY The current technology aims at providing further tools for site-specific conjugation of different cargos on immunoglobulin single variable domains (ISVDs). In particular, the present technology provides molecules comprising or consisting of at least one ISVD that comprises at least one conjugation site or attachment point, which is a primary amine, e.g., present in the side chain of at least one lysine present on the ISVD or at its N-terminus and suitable for site- specific conjugation. The technology further provides methods to produce the ISVDs of the present technology and uses thereof.

Thus, for example, reference to "a reagent" includes one or more of such different reagents and reference to "the method" includes reference to equivalent steps and methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art that could be modified or substituted for the methods described herein. Unless otherwise indicated, the term "at least" preceding a series of elements is to be understood to refer to every element in the series. Those skilled in the art will recognize or be able to ascertain using no more than routine experimentation, many equivalents to the specific embodiments of the technology described herein. Such equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the present technology. The term "and/or" wherever used herein includes the meaning of "and", "or" and "all or any other combination of the elements connected by said term". Throughout this specification and the claims which follow, unless the context requires otherwise, the word "comprise", and variations such as "comprises" and "comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or step or group of integers or steps but not the exclusion of any other integer or step or group of integer or step. When used herein the term "comprising" can be substituted with the term "containing" or "including" or sometimes when used herein with the term "having". The term “sequence” as used herein (for example in terms like “immunoglobulin sequence”, “antibody sequence”, “variable domain sequence”, “VHH sequence” or “protein sequence”), should generally be understood to include both the relevant amino acid sequence as well as nucleic acids or nucleotide sequences encoding the same, unless the context requires a more limited interpretation. Amino acid sequences are interpreted to mean a single amino acid or an unbranched sequence of two or more amino acids, depending on the context. Nucleotide sequences are interpreted to mean an unbranched sequence of 3 or more nucleotides. It is understood that any reference to the amino acid sequences of the technology is meant to encompass post-translational modifications of these sequences occurring in mammalian cells such as CHO cells, including, but not limited to, N-glycosylation, O-glycosylation, deamidation, Asp isomerization/fragmentation, pyro-glutamate formation, removal of C-terminal lysine, and Met/Trp oxidation. When a nucleotide sequence or amino acid sequence is said to “comprise” another nucleotide sequence or amino acid sequence, respectively, or to “essentially consist of” or to “consists of” another nucleotide sequence or amino acid sequence, this may mean that the latter nucleotide sequence or amino acid sequence has been incorporated into the first mentioned nucleotide sequence or amino acid sequence, respectively, but more usually this generally means that the first mentioned nucleotide sequence or amino acid sequence comprises within its sequence a stretch of nucleotides or amino acid residues, respectively, that has the same nucleotide sequence or amino acid sequence, respectively, as the latter sequence, irrespective of how the first mentioned sequence has actually been generated or obtained (which may for example be by any suitable method described herein). Amino acids are organic compounds that contain amino[a] (−NH+3) and carboxylate (−CO2) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid. For instance, amino acids include those L-amino acids commonly found in naturally occurring proteins. Amino acid residues will be indicated according to the standard three-letter or one-letter amino acid code. Reference is made to Table A-2 on page 48 of WO 08/020079. Examples of amino acids commonly found in proteins and represented in the genetic code are listed in Table 1 below. Other common amino acids (excluding those listed in Table 1 below) are described on the table on p.624 of Pure & Appl.

In the context of the present technology, the term “lysine” (K, Lys) refers to the natural, basic, aliphatic α-amino acid comprising an α-amino group, an α-carboxylic acid group and a side chain lysyl ((CH2)4NH2). For the purposes of this specification, lysine will refer to the biologically active enantiomer L-lysine, where the α-carbon is in the S configuration. The side chain of the lysine comprises a primary amine, which may serve as attachment point or conjugation site as described in the present technology. The terms "protein", "peptide", "protein/peptide", and "polypeptide" are used interchangeably throughout the present disclosure, and each has the same meaning for purposes of this disclosure. Each term refers to an organic compound made of a linear chain of two or more amino acids. The compound may have ten or more amino acids; twenty-five or more amino acids; fifty or more amino acids; one hundred or more amino acids, two hundred or more amino acids, and even three hundred or more amino acids. The skilled artisan will appreciate that polypeptides generally comprise fewer amino acids than proteins, although there is no art-recognized cut-off point of the number of amino acids that distinguish a polypeptide and a protein; that polypeptides may be made by chemical synthesis or recombinant methods; and that proteins are generally made in vitro or in vivo by recombinant methods as known in the art. By convention, the amide bond in the primary structure of polypeptides is in the order that the amino acids are written, in which the amine end (N-terminus) of a polypeptide is always on the left, while the acid end (C-terminus) is on the right. Any amino acid sequence that contains post-translationally modified amino acids may be described as the amino acid sequence that is initially translated using the symbols shown in Table 1 with the modified positions; e.g., hydroxylations or glycosylations, but these modifications shall not be shown explicitly in the amino acid sequence. Any peptide or protein that can be expressed as a sequence modified linkages, cross links and end caps, non-peptidyl bonds, etc., is embraced by this definition. In the context of the present technology, the terms “specificity”, “binding specifically” or “specific binding” refer to the number of different target molecules, such as antigens, to which a particular binding unit can bind with sufficiently high affinity (see below). “Specificity”, “binding specifically” or “specific binding” are used interchangeably herein with “selectivity”, “binding selectively” or “selective binding”. Generally, binding units, such as binding ISVDs, specifically bind to their designated targets. The specificity/selectivity of a binding unit can be determined based on affinity. The affinity denotes the strength or stability of a molecular interaction. The affinity is commonly given by the KD, or dissociation constant, which has units of mol/litre (or M). The affinity can also be expressed as an association constant, KA, which equals 1/KD and has units of (mol/ litre)-1 (or M-1). The affinity is a measure for the binding strength between a moiety and a binding site on a target molecule: the lower the value of the KD, the stronger the binding strength between a target molecule and a targeting moiety. The KD-value characterizes the strength of a molecular interaction also in a thermodynamic sense as it is related to the change of free energy (DG) of binding by the well-known relation DG=RT.ln(KD) (equivalently DG=-RT.ln(KA)), where R equals the gas constant, T equals the absolute temperature and ln denotes the natural logarithm. The KD may also be expressed as the ratio of the dissociation rate constant of a complex, denoted as koff (or Kd), to the rate of its association, denoted kon (or Ka) (so that KD =koff/kon and KA = kon/koff). The off-rate koff has units s-1 (where s is the SI unit notation of second). The on-rate kon has units M-1s-1. The on-rate may vary between 102 M-1s-1 to about 107 M-1s-1, approaching the diffusion-limited association rate constant for bimolecular interactions. The off-rate is related to the half-life of a given molecular interaction by the relation t1/2=ln(2)/koff. The off-rate may vary between 10-6 s-1 (near irreversible complex with a t1/2 of multiple days) to 1 s-1 (t1/2=0.69 s). The measured KD may correspond to the apparent KD if the measuring process somehow influences the intrinsic binding affinity of the implied molecules for example by artefacts related to the coating on the biosensor of one molecule. Also, an apparent KD may be measured if one molecule contains more than one recognition sites for the other molecule or molecules. In such situation the measured affinity may be affected by the avidity of the interaction by the two molecules. The dissociation constant (KD) may be the actual or apparent dissociation constant, as will be clear to the skilled person. Methods for determining the KD will be clear to the skilled person, and for example include the techniques mentioned below. In this respect, it will also be clear that it may not be possible to measure dissociation constants of more than 10-4 moles/litre or 10-3 moles/litre (e.g., of 10-2 moles/litre). Optionally, as will also be clear to the skilled person, the (actual or apparent) KD may be calculated on the basis of the (actual or apparent) association constant (KA), by means of the relationship (KD = 1/KA). KA = 1/KD --> KA= [AB] / [A].[B]. The term “about” used in the context of the parameters or parameter ranges of the provided herein shall have the following meanings. Unless indicated otherwise, where the term “about” is applied to a particular value or to a range, the value or range is interpreted as being as accurate as the method used to measure it. If no error margins are specified in the application, the last decimal place of a numerical value indicates its degree of accuracy. Where no other error margins are given, the maximum margin is ascertained by applying the rounding-off convention to the last decimal place, e.g., for a pH value of about pH 2.7, the error margin is 2.65-2.74. However, for the following parameters, the specific margins shall apply: a temperature specified in °C with no decimal place shall have an error margin of ± 1°C (e.g., a temperature value of about 50°C means 50°C ± 1°C); a time indicated in hours shall have an error margin of 0.1 hours irrespective of the decimal places (e.g., a time value of about 1.0 hours means 1.0 hours ± 0.1 hours; a time value of about 0.5 hours means 0.5 hours ± 0.1 hours). In the present application, any parameter indicated with the term “about” is also contemplated as being disclosed without the term “about”. In other words, embodiments referring to a parameter value using the term “about” shall also describe an embodiment directed to the numerical value of said parameter as such. For example, an embodiment specifying a pH of “about pH 2.7” shall also disclose an embodiment specifying a pH of “pH 2.7” as such; an embodiment specifying a pH range of “between about pH 2.7 and about pH 2.1” shall also describe an embodiment specifying a pH range of “between pH 2.7 and pH 2.1”, etc. For the purposes of comparing two or more nucleotide sequences, the percentage of “sequence identity” between a first nucleotide sequence and a second nucleotide sequence may be calculated by dividing [the number of nucleotides in the first nucleotide sequence that are identical to the nucleotides at the corresponding positions in the second nucleotide sequence] by [the total number of nucleotides in the first nucleotide sequence] and multiplying by [100%], in which each deletion, insertion, substitution or addition of a nucleotide in the second nucleotide sequence – compared to the first nucleotide sequence – is considered as a difference at a single nucleotide (position). Alternatively, the degree of sequence identity between two or more nucleotide sequences may be calculated using a known computer algorithm for sequence alignment such as NCBI Blast v2.0, using standard settings. Some other techniques, computer algorithms and settings for determining the degree of sequence identity are for example described in WO 04/037999, EP 0967284, EP 1085089, WO 00/55318, WO 00/78972, WO 98/49185 and GB 2357768. Usually, for the purpose of determining the percentage of “sequence identity” between two nucleotide sequences in accordance with the calculation method outlined hereinabove, the nucleotide sequence with the greatest number of nucleotides will be taken as the “first” nucleotide sequence, and the other nucleotide sequence will be taken as the “second” nucleotide sequence. For the purposes of comparing two or more amino acid sequences, the percentage of “sequence identity” between a first amino acid sequence and a second amino acid sequence (also referred to herein as “amino acid identity”) may be calculated by dividing [the number of amino acid residues in the first amino acid sequence that are identical to the amino acid residues at the corresponding positions in the second amino acid sequence] by [the total number of amino acid residues in the first amino acid sequence] and multiplying by [100%], in which each deletion, insertion, substitution or addition of an amino acid residue in the second amino acid sequence – compared to the first amino acid sequence – is considered as a difference at a single amino acid residue (position), i.e., as an “amino acid difference” as defined herein. Alternatively, the degree of sequence identity between two amino acid sequences may be calculated using a known computer algorithm, such as those mentioned above for determining the degree of sequence identity for nucleotide sequences, again using standard settings. Usually, for the purpose of determining the percentage of “sequence identity” between two amino acid sequences in accordance with the calculation method outlined hereinabove, the amino acid sequence with the greatest number of amino acid residues will be taken as the “first” amino acid sequence, and the other amino acid sequence will be taken as the “second” amino acid sequence. Also, in determining the degree of sequence identity between two amino acid sequences, the skilled person may take into account so-called “conservative” amino acid substitutions, which can generally be described as amino acid substitutions in which an amino acid residue is replaced with another amino acid residue of similar chemical structure and which has little or essentially no influence on the 3D structure, function, activity, or other biological properties of the polypeptide. Such conservative amino acid substitutions are well known in the art, for example from WO 04/037999, GB 335768, WO 98/49185, WO 00/46383, and WO 01/09300; and (preferred) types and/or combinations of such substitutions may be selected on the basis of the pertinent teachings from WO 04/037999 as well as WO 98/49185 and from the further references cited therein. Such conservative substitutions preferably are substitutions in which one amino acid within the following groups (a) – (e) is substituted by another amino acid residue within the same group: (a) small aliphatic, nonpolar or slightly polar residues: Ala, Ser, Thr, Pro and Gly; (b) polar, negatively charged residues and their (uncharged) amides: Asp, Asn, Glu and Gln; (c) polar, positively charged residues: His, Arg and Lys; (d) large aliphatic, nonpolar residues: Met, Leu, Ile, Val and Cys; and (e) aromatic residues: Phe, Tyr and Trp. Particularly preferred conservative substitutions are as follows: Ala into Gly or into Ser; Arg into Lys; Asn into Gln or into His; Asp into Glu; Cys into Ser; Gln into Asn; Glu into Asp; Gly into Ala or into Pro; His into Asn or into Gln; Ile into Leu or into Val; Leu into Ile or into Val; Lys into Arg, into Gln or into Glu; Met into Leu, into Tyr or into Ile; Phe into Met, into Leu or into Tyr; Ser into Thr; Thr into Ser; Trp into Tyr; Tyr into Trp; and/or Phe into Val, into Ile or into Leu. Amino acid sequences and nucleic acid sequences are said to be “exactly the same” if they have 100% sequence identity (as defined herein) over their entire length. When comparing two amino acid sequences, the term “amino acid difference” refers to an insertion, deletion or substitution of a single amino acid residue on a position of the first sequence, compared to the second sequence; it being understood that two amino acid sequences may contain one, two or more such amino acid differences. According to the present description, “protein solubility” is a thermodynamic parameter defined as the concentration of protein in a saturated solution that is in equilibrium with a solid phase, either crystalline or amorphous, under a given set of conditions (see, e.g., Kramer RM. et al., “Toward a molecular understanding of protein solubility: increased negative surface charge correlates with increased solubility”, Biophys J., 2012, 102(8):1907-15). The immunoglobulin single variable domain (ISVD) of the present technology The molecule of the present technology comprises, or alternatively, consists of, at least one immunoglobulin single variable domain (ISVD), as defined herein. For instance, the molecule of the present technology may comprise or, alternatively, consist of, a single ISVD. In other embodiments, the molecule comprises more than one ISVD, such as two, three, four, five, six or more ISVDs. The molecule of the present invention may also comprise at least one ISVD and one or more cargos attached to it, as described below. The term “immunoglobulin single variable domain” (ISVD), interchangeably used with “single variable domain”, defines immunoglobulin molecules wherein the antigen binding site is present on, and formed by, a single immunoglobulin domain. This sets ISVDs apart from “conventional” immunoglobulins (e.g., monoclonal antibodies) or their fragments (such as Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, scFv, di-scFv), wherein two immunoglobulin domains, in particular two variable domains, interact to form an antigen binding site. Typically, in conventional immunoglobulins, a heavy chain variable domain (VH) and a light chain variable domain (VL) interact to form an antigen binding site. In this case, the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of both VH and VL will contribute to the antigen binding site, i.e., a total of 6 CDRs will be involved in antigen binding site formation. In view of the above definition, the antigen-binding domain of a conventional 4-chain antibody (such as an IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD or IgE molecule; known in the art) or of a Fab fragment, a F(ab')2 fragment, an Fv fragment such as a disulphide linked Fv or a scFv fragment, or a diabody (all known in the art) derived from such conventional 4-chain antibody, would normally not be regarded as an ISVD as, in these cases, binding to the respective epitope of an antigen would normally not occur by one single immunoglobulin domain but by a pair of associating immunoglobulin domains such as light and heavy chain variable domains, i.e., by a VH-VL pair of immunoglobulin domains, which jointly bind to an epitope of the respective antigen. In contrast, generally, ISVDs are capable of specifically binding to an epitope of the antigen without pairing with an additional immunoglobulin variable domain. The binding site of an ISVD is formed by a single VH, a single VHH or single VL domain. In the context of the present technology, the ISVD may be a light chain variable domain sequence (e.g., a VL-sequence) or a suitable fragment thereof; or a heavy chain variable domain sequence (e.g., a VH-sequence or VHH sequence) or a suitable fragment thereof. The ISVD can for example be a heavy chain ISVD, such as a VH, VHH, including a camelized VH or humanized VHH. In one embodiment, the ISVD is a VHH, including a camelized VH or humanized VHH. Heavy chain ISVDs can be derived from a conventional four-chain antibody or from a heavy chain antibody. For example, the ISVD may be a single domain antibody (or an amino acid sequence that is suitable for use as a single domain antibody), a "dAb" or dAb (or an amino acid sequence that is suitable for use as a dAb) or a NANOBODY® ISVD (as defined herein, and including but not limited to a VHH); other single variable domains, or any suitable fragment of any one thereof. Preferably, the ISVD is a VH, a humanized VH, a human VH, a VHH, a humanized VHH or a camelized VH. More preferably, the ISVD is a NANOBODY® ISVD (such as a VHH, including a humanized VHH or camelized VH) or a suitable fragment thereof. NANOBODY® is a registered trademark from Ablynx N.V. “VHH domains”, also known as VHH’s, VHH antibody fragments, and VHH antibodies, have originally been described as the antigen binding immunoglobulin variable domain of “heavy chain antibodies”; i.e., of “antibodies devoid of light chains”, see Hamers-Casterman et al., Nature, 363: 446-448, 1993. The term “VHH domain” has been chosen in order to distinguish these variable domains from the heavy chain variable domains that are present in conventional 4-chain antibodies, which are referred to herein as “VH domains”, and from the light chain variable domains that are present in conventional 4-chain antibodies, which are referred to herein as “VL domains”. For a further description of VHH’s, reference is made to the review article by Muyldermans (“Single domain camel antibodies: current status”, J Biotechnol., 2001, 74: 277-302). VHH domains can be obtained from heavy chain-only antibodies (HCAbs) that are circulating in Camelidae, see e.g., Muyldermans S., “A guide to: generation and design of nanobodies”, FEBS J., 2021, 288(7):2084-2102. Typically, the generation of immunoglobulins involves the immunization of experimental animals, fusion of immunoglobulin producing cells to create hybridomas and screening for the desired specificities. Alternatively, immunoglobulins can be generated by screening of naïve, immune, or synthetic libraries, e.g., by phage display. The generation of immunoglobulin sequences, such as VHHs, has been described extensively in various publications, among which WO 94/04678, Hamers-Casterman et al. 1993 (“Naturally occurring antibodies devoid of light chains”, Nature, 363: 446-448, 1993) and Muyldermans et al. 2001 (“Single domain camel antibodies: current status”, J Biotechnol., 2001, 74: 277- 302) can be exemplified. In these methods, camelids are immunized with the target antigen in order to induce an immune response against said target antigen. The repertoire of VHH’s obtained from said immunization is further screened for VHHs that bind (or not) a target antigen. In the context of the present technology, immunoglobulin sequences of different origin may be used, comprising mouse, rat, rabbit, donkey, human and camelid immunoglobulin sequences. In the context of the present technology, fully human, humanized or chimeric sequences are also included. In the context of the present technology, camelid immunoglobulin sequences and humanized camelid immunoglobulin sequences, or camelized domain antibodies, e.g. camelized dAb as described by Ward et al. (Nature, 341: 544, 1989) (see for example WO 94/04678 and Davies and Riechmann, “'Camelising' human antibody fragments: NMR studies on VH domains”, Febs Lett., 339:285-290, 1994 and “Single antibody domains as small recognition units: design and in vitro antigen selection of camelized, human VH domains with improved protein stability”, Prot. Eng., 1996, 9(6):531-537) are also included. A “humanized VHH” comprises an amino acid sequence that corresponds to the amino acid sequence of a naturally occurring VHH domain, but that has been “humanized” , i.e., by replacing one or more amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence of said naturally occurring VHH sequence (and in particular in the framework sequences) by one or more of the amino acid residues that occur at the corresponding position(s) in a VH domain from a conventional 4-chain antibody from a human being (e.g., indicated above). This can be performed in a manner known per se, which will be clear to the skilled person, for example on the basis of the further description herein and the prior art (e.g., WO 2008/020079). Again, it should be noted that such humanized VHH’s can be obtained in any suitable manner known per se and thus are not strictly limited to polypeptides that have been obtained using a polypeptide that comprises a naturally occurring VHH domain as a starting material. Preferably, if the ISVD of the present technology is a VHH, the VHH is a humanized VHH. A “camelized VH” comprises an amino acid sequence that corresponds to the amino acid sequence of a naturally occurring VH domain, but that has been “camelized”, i.e., by replacing one or more amino acid residues in the amino acid sequence of a naturally occurring VH domain from a conventional 4-chain antibody by one or more of the amino acid residues that occur at the corresponding position(s) in a VHH domain of a heavy chain antibody. This can be performed in a manner known per se, which will be clear to the skilled person, for example on the basis of the further description herein and the prior art (e.g., WO 2008/020079). Such “camelizing” substitutions are usually inserted at amino acid positions that form and/or are present at the VH-VL interface, and/or at the so-called Camelidae hallmark residues, as defined herein (see for example WO 94/04678 and Davies and Riechmann, 1994 and 1996, supra). In one embodiment, the VH sequence that is used as a starting material or starting point for generating or designing the camelized VH is a VH sequence from a mammal, or the VH sequence of a human being, such as a VH3 sequence. However, it should be noted that such camelized VH can be obtained in any suitable manner known per se and thus are not strictly limited to polypeptides that have been obtained using a polypeptide that comprises a naturally occurring VH domain as a starting material. The structure of an ISVD sequence can be considered to be comprised of four framework regions (“FRs”), which are referred to in the art and herein as “Framework region 1” (“FR1”); as “Framework region 2” (“FR2”); as “Framework region 3” (“FR3”); and as “Framework region 4” (“FR4”), respectively; which framework regions are interrupted by three complementary determining regions (“CDRs”), which are referred to in the art and herein as “Complementarity Determining Region 1” (“CDR1”); as “Complementarity Determining Region 2” (“CDR2”); and as “Complementarity Determining Region 3” (“CDR3”), respectively. Also, as further described in paragraph q) on pages 58 and 59 of WO 2008/020079, the amino acid residues of an ISVD are numbered according to the general numbering for VH domains given by Kabat et al. (“Sequence of proteins of immunological interest”, US Public Health Services, NIH Bethesda, MD, Publication No.91), as applied to VHH domains from Camelids in the article of Riechmann and Muyldermans, 1999 (J. Immunol. Methods, 231(1-2):25-38; see for example Figure 2 of this publication). It should be noted that - as is well known in the art for VH domains and for VHH domains - the total number of amino acid residues in each of the CDRs may vary and may not correspond to the total number of amino acid residues indicated by the Kabat numbering. That is, one or more positions according to the Kabat numbering may not be occupied in the actual sequence, or the actual sequence may contain more amino acid residues than the number allowed for by the Kabat numbering. This means that, generally, the numbering according to Kabat may or may not correspond to the actual numbering of the amino acid residues in the actual sequence. The total number of amino acid residues in a VH domain and a VHH domain will usually be in the range of from 110 to 120, often between 112 and 115. It should however be noted that smaller and longer sequences may also be suitable for the purposes described herein. In the present application CDR sequences may also be described according to Kabat numbering with AbM CDR annotation (also referred to as “AbM numbering” or “AbM definition“ in the present description), as described in Kontermann and Dübel (Eds. 2010, Antibody Engineering, vol 2, Springer Verlag Heidelberg Berlin, Martin, Chapter 3, pp.33-51). According to this method, FR1 comprises the amino acid residues at positions 1-25, CDR1 comprises the amino acid residues at positions 26-35, FR2 comprises the amino acids at positions 36-49, CDR2 comprises the amino acid residues at positions 50-58, FR3 comprises the amino acid residues at positions 59-94, CDR3 comprises the amino acid residues at positions 95-102, and FR4 comprises the amino acid residues at positions 103-113. Determination of CDR regions may also be done according to different methods. In the CDR determination according to Kabat, FR1 of an ISVD comprises the amino acid residues at positions 1-30, CDR1 of an ISVD comprises the amino acid residues at positions 31-35, FR2 of an ISVD comprises the amino acids at positions 36-49, CDR2 of an ISVD comprises the amino acid residues at positions 50-65, FR3 of an ISVD comprises the amino acid residues at positions 66-94, CDR3 of an ISVD comprises the amino acid residues at positions 95-102, and FR4 of an ISVD comprises the amino acid residues at positions 103-113. In such an immunoglobulin sequence, the framework sequences may be any suitable framework sequences, and examples of suitable framework sequences will be clear to the skilled person, for example on the basis the standard handbooks and the further disclosure and prior art mentioned herein. The framework sequences are a suitable combination of immunoglobulin framework sequences or framework sequences that have been derived from immunoglobulin framework sequences, for example by humanization or camelization. For example, the framework sequences may be framework sequences derived from a light chain variable domain (e.g. a VL- sequence) and/or from a heavy chain variable domain (e.g. a VH-sequence or VHH sequence). In one aspect, the framework sequences are either framework sequences that have been derived from a VHH-sequence in which said framework sequences may optionally have been partially or fully humanized or are conventional VH sequences that have been camelized (as defined herein). In particular, the framework sequences present in the ISVD sequences referred to in the present technology may contain one or more of Hallmark residues (as defined herein), such that the ISVD sequence is a NANOBODY® ISVD, such as, e.g., a VHH, including a humanized VHH or camelized VH. Some non-limiting examples of suitable combinations of such framework sequences will become clear from the further disclosure herein. However, it should be noted that, in the context of the present technology, the origin of the ISVD sequence or the origin of the nucleotide sequence used to express it is not limited, nor as to the way that the ISVD sequence or nucleotide sequence is or has been generated or obtained. Thus, the ISVD sequences may be naturally occurring sequences (from any suitable species) or synthetic or semi-synthetic sequences. In a specific but non-limiting aspect, the ISVD sequence is a naturally occurring sequence (from any suitable species) or a synthetic or semi-synthetic sequence, including but not limited to “humanized” (as defined herein) immunoglobulin sequences (such as partially or fully humanized mouse or rabbit immunoglobulin sequences, and in particular partially or fully humanized VHH sequences), “camelized” (as defined herein) immunoglobulin sequences, as well as immunoglobulin sequences that have been obtained by techniques such as affinity maturation (for example, starting from synthetic, random or naturally occurring immunoglobulin sequences), CDR grafting, veneering, combining fragments derived from different immunoglobulin sequences, PCR assembly using overlapping primers, and similar techniques for engineering immunoglobulin sequences well known to the skilled person; or any suitable combination of any of the foregoing. Similarly, nucleotide sequences may be naturally occurring nucleotide sequences or synthetic or semi-synthetic sequences, and may for example be sequences that are isolated by PCR from a suitable naturally occurring template, e.g., DNA or RNA isolated from a cell, nucleotide sequences that have been isolated from a library (and in particular, an expression library), nucleotide sequences that have been prepared by introducing mutations into a naturally occurring nucleotide sequence (using any suitable technique known per se, such as mismatch PCR), nucleotide sequence that have been prepared by PCR using overlapping primers, or nucleotide sequences that have been prepared using techniques for DNA synthesis known per se. In one embodiment, the at least one ISVD comprised in the molecule of the present technology is derived from a Nanobody® ISVD belonging to the so-called “VH3 class”, i.e. a Nanobody® ISVDs with a high degree of sequence homology to human germline sequences of the VH3 class such as DP-47, DP-51 or DP-29. Generally, NANOBODY® ISVDs (in particular VHH sequences, including (partially) humanized VHH sequences and camelized VH sequences) can be characterized by the presence of one or more “Hallmark residues” (as described herein) in one or more of the framework sequences (again as further described herein). Generally, a Nanobody® ISVD can be defined as an immunoglobulin sequence with the (general) structure FR1 - CDR1 - FR2 - CDR2 - FR3 - CDR3 - FR4 in which FR1 to FR4 refer to framework regions 1 to 4, respectively, and in which CDR1 to CDR3 refer to the complementarity determining regions 1 to 3, respectively, and in which one or more of the Hallmark residues are as further defined herein. In particular, a Nanobody® ISVD can be an immunoglobulin sequence with the (general) structure FR1 - CDR1 - FR2 - CDR2 - FR3 - CDR3 - FR4 in which FR1 to FR4 refer to framework regions 1 to 4, respectively, and in which CDR1 to CDR3 refer to the complementarity determining regions 1 to 3, respectively, and in which the framework sequences are as further defined herein. More in particular, a Nanobody® ISVD can be an immunoglobulin sequence with the (general) structure FR1 - CDR1 - FR2 - CDR2 - FR3 - CDR3 - FR4 in which FR1 to FR4 refer to framework regions 1 to 4, respectively, and in which CDR1 to CDR3 refer to the complementarity determining regions 1 to 3, respectively, and in which: one or more of the amino acid residues at positions 11, 37, 44, 45, 47, 83, 84, 103, 104 and 108 according to the Kabat numbering are chosen from the Hallmark residues mentioned in Table 3 below.

Alternatively, also sequences such as TERE (for example TEREL), TQRE (for example TQREL), KECE (for example KECEL or KECER), KQCE (for example KQCEL), RERE (for example REREG), RQRE (for example RQREL, RQREF or RQREW), QERE (for example QEREG), QQRE, (for example QQREW, QQREL or QQREF), KGRE (for example KGREG), KDRE (for example KDREV) are possible. Some other possible, but less preferred sequences include for example DECKL and NVCEL. (4) With both GLEW at positions 44-47 and KERE or KQRE at positions 43-46. (5) Often as KP or EP at positions 83-84 of naturally occurring VHH domains. (6) In particular, but not exclusively, in combination with GLEW at positions 44-47. (7) With the proviso that when positions 44-47 are GLEW, position 108 is always Q in (non- humanized) VHH sequences that also contain a W at 103. (8) The GLEW group also contains GLEW-like sequences at positions 44-47, such as for example GVEW, EPEW, GLER, DQEW, DLEW, GIEW, ELEW, GPEW, EWLP, GPER, GLER and ELEW. Thus, a NANOBODY® ISVD can be defined as an amino acid sequence with the (general) structure FR1 - CDR1 - FR2 - CDR2 - FR3 - CDR3 - FR4 in which FR1 to FR4 refer to framework regions 1 to 4, respectively, and in which CDR1 to CDR3 refer to the complementarity determining regions 1 to 3, respectively, and in which one or more of the amino acid residues at positions 11, 37, 44, 45, 47, 83, 84, 103, 104 and 108 according to the Kabat numbering are chosen from the Hallmark residues mentioned in Table 3. In a further preferred embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology derives from an ISVD, such as from a heavy-chain ISVD, preferably from a NANOBODY® ISVD, which has been further engineered/modified to include mutations which prevent/remove binding by pre-existing antibodies/factors. Examples of such mutations are described, e.g., in WO 2012/175741 and WO 2015/173325. For instance, to prevent/remove binding by pre-existing antibodies/factors, the amino acid at position 11 (according to Kabat) may be Val or Leu, preferably Val; and/or the amino acid at position 89 (according to Kabat) may be preferably Val, Thr or Leu, preferably Leu; and/or the amino acid at position 110 (according to Kabat) may be preferably Thr, Lys or Gln, preferably Thr; and/or the amino acid at position 112 (according to Kabat) may be Ser, Lys or Gln, preferably Ser; and/or the ISVD may contain a C- terminal extension of 1-5 amino acids chosen from any naturally occurring amino acid. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one ISVD comprised in the molecule of the present technology (the ISVD of the present technology) comprises a Gln (Q) at position 1 (Kabat), i.e., comprises a N-terminal Gln. Pyroglutamate (pE) or pyrrolidone carboxylate, is a cyclic amino acid found at the N-termini of some proteins and biological peptides. Formation occurs through the rearrangement of the originally synthesized glutamate or glutamine residues at this position. Both glutamine and glutamate at the N-termini has been shown to cyclize to pyroglutamate (pE) in vitro. Glutamate conversion to pyroglutamate occurs more slowly than from glutamine, see, e.g., Liu YD. et al., “N-terminal glutamate to pyroglutamate conversion in vivo for human IgG2 antibodies”, J Biol Chem., 2011, 286(13):11211-7. Hence, in a preferred embodiment, the N-terminal of the at least one ISVD of the present technology comprises a pyroglutamate modification. The at least one ISVD comprised in the molecule of the present technology is suitable for site- specific conjugation, preferably for primary amine site-specific conjugation, even more preferably, wherein the primary amine is present in the side chain of a lysine (lysine-specific conjugation), as defined below. Globular three-dimensional (3D) structure The ISVD of the present technology, as any ISVD, per definition, has a globular three- dimensional (3D) structure, i.e., it is or comprises a structured protein with a globular 3D structure. Globular proteins have approximately spherical shape. Nearly all globular proteins contain substantial numbers of α-helices and/or β-sheets folded into a compact structure that is stabilized by both polar and nonpolar interactions. The globular 3D structure forms naturally and often involves interactions mediated by the side chains of the amino acids. Most often, the hydrophobic amino acid side chains are buried, closely packed, in the interior of a globular protein, out of contact with water. Hydrophilic amino acid side chains lie on the surface of the globular proteins exposed to the water. Consequently, globular proteins are usually very soluble in aqueous solutions (from “Gene Expression: Translation of the Genetic Code”, Chang-Hui Shen, in Diagnostic Molecular Biology, 2019). In the context of the present technology, a protein or part of a protein with globular 3D structure can be defined as a protein or part of it which comprises at least one α-helix and/or at least one β-sheet as part of its secondary structure. From a simple sequence of amino acids to its final 3D structure, a protein passes through four levels of structuring known as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. At the end of these stages the protein begins to fold up into a stable 3D structure that will allow it to fulfil its proper function. Hence, the amino acid sequence of a protein is known as the “primary structure” of that protein. The “secondary structure” can be defined as the arrangement of a polypeptide chain into more or less regular hydrogen-bonded structures, and it has two basic elements: o Alpha helix - spiral configuration of a polypeptide chain with 3.6 residues (amino acids) per turn. The helix may be left-handed or right-handed, and the latter is more common. o Beta strand (or beta-sheet) - two adjacent polypeptide strands that are bonded together. Two or more strands may interact to form a beta sheet. Finally, the “tertiary structure” can be defined as the level of protein structure at which an entire polypeptide chain has folded into a 3D structure. In multi-chain proteins, the term tertiary structure applies to the individual chains. See Smith, A.D., et al., eds. 1997, Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, New York: Oxford University Press. The three-dimensional structure of a protein can be determined by techniques such as X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), cryo-electron microscopy (EM) or circular dichroism (CD). X-ray crystallography is a common technique used to determine 3D protein structure, but also NMR (suited for small proteins) and cryo-EM (suited for large proteins) can provide information about a protein's tertiary structure. Circular dichroism is an excellent method for rapidly evaluating the secondary structure, folding and binding properties of proteins, see, e.g., Jones, C. (“Circular dichroism of biopharmaceutical proteins in a quality-regulated environment”, J Pharm Biomed Anal., 2022, 219:114945). Because the CD spectra of proteins are so dependent on their conformation, CD can be used to estimate the structure of unknown proteins and monitor conformational changes due to temperature, mutations, heat, denaturants or binding interactions. For instance, α-helical proteins have negative bands at 222 nm and 208 nm and a positive band at 193 nm. Proteins with well- defined antiparallel β-pleated sheets (β-helices) have negative bands at 218 nm and positive bands at 195 nm, while disordered proteins have very low ellipticity above 210 nm and negative bands near 195 nm. See Greenfield NJ., “Using circular dichroism spectra to estimate protein secondary structure”, Nat Protoc., 2006, 1(6):2876-90 for further details. Hence, the ISVD of the present technology, as any ISVD, has a globular 3D tertiary structure. The structural architecture of ISVDs such as VHHs comprises 2 β-sheets, one with 4 β-strands (A, B, D, and E) and the other with 5 β-strands (C, C’, C’’, F and G), and CDRs form flexible antigen-binding loops between β-strands, see, e.g., Figure 1 of Bingying Liu and Daiwen Yang, “Easily established and multifunctional synthetic nanobody libraries as research tools”, Int. J. Mol. Sci.2022, 23, 1482. Hence, the ISVD of the present technology, as any ISVD, comprises a globular 3D structure which comprises 2 β-sheets (preferably one with 4 β-strands and another one with 5 β-strands) and three flexible loops between β-strands, where the antigen- binding domains (CDRs) are located. The globular 3D structure of ISVDs allows the engineering of site- and stereospecific- conjugation sites or attachment points, as described in detail in this specification. The presence of at least one α-helix and/or at least one β-sheet in a certain polypeptide or protein can be determined by known techniques, as explained above, such as, e.g., CD. As shown in the examples, the structure integrity of the ISVDs can also be monitored by assessing its thermal stability (e.g., by determining the melting temperature, Tm), see, e.g., Examples 1 and 3. If the Tm of the ISVD is not significantly decreased as compared with the Tm of its ISVD precursor, it can be concluded that the 3D structure of the resulting ISVD is maintained (i.e., the resulting ISVD has a globular 3D structure, as the precursor does). Preferably, the Tm of the resulting ISVD is not decreased more than 10°C, preferably is not decreased more than 8°C, or 6°C, even more preferably is not decreased more than 5°C, or more than 4°C, even more preferably is not decreased more than 3°C, or more than 2°C, or more than 1°C. Preferably, the Tm of the resulting ISVD is about the same Tm than the Tm of the precursor, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10°C lower, preferably at most 5°C lower than the Tm of the ISVD precursor. Solubility The ISVD of the present technology is soluble. In the context of the present technology, a soluble ISVD means that the ISVD has a solubility of 10 mg/mL or more, preferably of 20 mg/mL, preferably of 50 mg/mL or more, and even more preferably of 100 mg/mL or more, measured in water or a suitable buffer or solvent (e.g., an aqueous solution, or a physiological buffer, such as a buffer which is amenable for parenteral administration) at room temperature (RT). In a preferred embodiment, the solubility of the ISVD is measured in water or in a suitable buffer at RT, more preferably in a buffer such as citrate buffer (e.g., citrate buffer 5 mM) or PBS, at pH 7.0 or 7.4, at RT. Other preferred suitable buffers which are suitable for measuring the solubility of the ISVD are Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (DPBS, which is a s a balanced salt solution containing potassium chloride, monobasic potassium phosphate, sodium chloride, and dibasic sodium phosphate), preferably pH 7.0 or 7.4, at RT. Other preferred suitable buffers which are suitable for measuring the solubility of the protein-based carrier building block are Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (DPBS, which is a s a balanced salt solution containing potassium chloride, monobasic potassium phosphate, sodium chloride, and dibasic sodium phosphate), preferably pH 7.0 or 7.4, at RT, or histidine buffer at pH 6.5, at RT (comprising histidine (10 mM to 100 mM, such as 10 mM), sucrose (1% to 10%, such as 10%) and, optionally, Tween 80 (0.001% to 1%, such as 0.01%)), or phosphate buffer pH 7.0, at RT (comprising NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4 (10 and 50 mM, such as 10 mM), sodium chloride (NaCl) (100-150 mM, such as 130 mM NaCl) and, optionally, Tween 80 (0.001% to 1%, such as 0.01%)). The skilled person is aware of methods to measure the solubility of a protein solution. For instance, the supplementary material of Kramer RM. et al. (“Toward a molecular understanding of protein solubility: increased negative surface charge correlates with increased solubility”, Biophys J., 2012, 102(8):1907-15) describes solubility measurements of folded proteins. Additionally or alternatively, solubility measurements can be performed as follows. The protein solution (e.g., in citrate buffer 5 mM, pH 7.0, or in PBS pH 7.4, or in water, or in any of the suitable buffers described above) is concentrated by ultrafiltration (e.g., via tangential flow filtration (TFF)) until some cloudiness appears in the solution. Then, the solution is spined at high speed or 0.22 µm filtered to remove any non-soluble material, and the OD280 of the supernatant is measured. Using the molar extinction coefficient of the specific protein, the protein concentration of the supernatant (and, thus, the concentration of the protein in a saturated solution that is in equilibrium with a solid phase, i.e., the protein solubility) is obtained. ISVD precursor The at least one ISVD comprised in the molecule of the present technology may be generated from another ISVD, which is selected as starting point for developing the ISVD of the present technology (the so-called “ISVD precursor”). An ISVD precursor is an ISVD which sequence is suitable to be modified, and/or is intended to be modified (e.g., by point mutations or by addition and/or removal of one or more lysines to/from its N- and/or C-terminus) to generate the ISVD of the present technology. In addition, if necessary, the ISVD precursor is modified so that it incorporates one or more attachment points or conjugation sites as described herein. The ISVD precursor has a sequence identity of at least 60%, such as at least 70%, or at least 75%, preferably of at least 80% with the ISVD derived from it. For instance, the ISVD precursor has a sequence identity of at least 85%, such as at least 90%, such as at least 91%, such as at least 92%, such as at least 93%, such as at least 94%, such as at least 95%, such as at least 96%, such as at least 97%, such as at least 98%, such as at least 99%, or more with the ISVD derived from it. For instance, the ISVD precursor may share the whole amino acid sequence with ISVD derived from it with the exception of at least one, such as one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, twenty or more amino acids. For instance, the ISVD precursor is modified by at least one point mutation, wherein the point mutation comprises the substitution of one amino acid which is not lysine in the sequence of the ISVD precursor by a lysine, or wherein the ISVD precursor is modified by at least one point mutation, wherein the point mutation comprises the substitution of a lysine by an amino acid which is not lysine. For instance, the ISVD precursor is modified by the addition of one lysine to its N- and/or C-terminus. In addition, the ISVD precursor may be modified by a point mutation of the amino acid at position 1 (Kabat), wherein the point mutation consists of the replacement of the amino acid at position 1 (Kabat) by a Gln (Q), preferably wherein the point mutation consists of the replacement of the N-terminal glutamic acid (E) of the ISVD precursor by a glutamine (Q). It is preferred that the ISVD precursor is modified, as described herein, without significantly affecting its desirable structural and/or functional properties, such as its primary, secondary or tertiary structure and/or conformation and/or its advantageous performance essentially resulting from its binding properties, as defined herein. The ISVD precursor is preferably a VHH, such as a NANOBODY® ISVD or a suitable fragment thereof, more preferably a humanized VHH, such as a humanized NANOBODY® ISVD or a suitable fragment thereof. The resulting ISVD should be soluble and have a globular 3D structure. Hence, in one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology is soluble and has a globular 3D structure. In a preferred embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology has a sequence identity of at least 80% with a VHH (such as a humanized VHH or camelized VH), e.g., with its VHH precursor. For instance, the ISVD- has a sequence identity of at least 60%, or at least 70%, or 80%, or at least 85%, such as at least 90%, such as at least 91%, such as at least 92%, such as at least 93%, such as at least 94%, such as at least 95%, such as at least 96%, such as at least 97%, such as at least 98%, such as at least 99%, or more with a VHH, e.g., its VHH precursor. For instance, the ISVD may share the whole amino acid sequence with its VHH precursor with the exception of at least one, such as one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, fifteen, eighteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty or more amino acids, which are different in the ISVD. In one embodiment, the ISVD precursor does not comprise any lysine in its amino acid sequence. Preferably, the ISVD precursor does not comprise any primary amine in its sequence. Hence, in a preferred embodiment, the ISVD precursor does not comprise any lysine in its sequence and, moreover, does not comprise a N-terminal primary amine, e.g., because the N-terminal comprises a pyroglutamate modification. Hence, the present technology is also directed to an ISVD which does not comprise any lysine in its amino acid sequence, preferably which does not comprise any primary amine in its sequence. Functionality of the ISVDs In a preferred embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology is a functional ISVD, i.e., it shows specific binding toward its antigen(s) (target(s)). Hence, in a preferred embodiment, the ISVD precursor and the ISVD derived from it show specific binding towards the same antigen(s)/target(s), preferably with similar affinities. For instance, the KD value of the interaction between the ISVD of the present technology and a certain target(s) is not significantly increased (i.e., worsened in binding) in comparison with the KD value of the interaction between the ISVD precursor and the same target(s). “Not significantly increased” in this specific context may mean that the KD value is not increased (i.e. worsened in binding) by more than one order of magnitude. In one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind to any human protein. Hence, in this embodiment, if the ISVD shows any interaction with one or more human proteins, such interaction is characterized by low specificity and/or low affinity, as defined herein. For instance, the ISVD of the present technology, in this particular embodiment, may not specifically bind crystallizable fragment (Fc) receptors (FcRs), Fc-binding proteins or Fc- sensors. For instance, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind C-type lectin receptors (CLRs). All antibodies possess two functional domains — one that confers antigen specificity, known as the antigen-binding fragment (Fab), and another that drives antibody function, known as the crystallizable fragment (Fc). The specific effector functions that are triggered by antibodies are determined by the receptors to which the antibody Fc domain binds and the specific innate immune cells on which these FcRs are expressed. These sensors include both classical FcRs and non-classical C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), see Lu, L. et al., “Beyond binding: antibody effector functions in infectious diseases”, Nat Rev Immunol, 2018, 18, 46–61. Table 1 of Lu, L. et al provides non-limiting examples of Fc domain sensors (e.g., Fcγ or FcRn) to which the ISVD of the present technology do not specifically bind. Consequently, the ISVD of the present technology, in this particular embodiment, may not show effector functions of conventional antibodies mediated by the Fc domain. In another embodiment, the ISVD and/or the molecule of the present technology may not specifically bind crystallizable fragment (Fc) receptors (FcRs), Fc-binding proteins or Fc-sensors. For instance, in this embodiment, the ISVD and/or the molecule of the present technology may not specifically bind C-type lectin receptors (CLRs). Hence, in one embodiment, none of the components comprised in the molecule of the present technology (e.g., at least one ISVD and/or at least one cargo attached or conjugated to it) specifically bind crystallizable fragment (Fc) receptors (FcRs), Fc-binding proteins, Fc-sensors and/or CLRs. In another embodiment, the ISVD and/or the molecule of the present technology may not show effector functions of conventional antibodies mediated by the Fc domain, i.e., none of the components comprised in the molecule of the present technology show effector functions of conventional antibodies mediated by the Fc domain. In one embodiment, the molecule of the present technology does not include conventional VH-VL pairing/interaction and/or does not include CL-CH1 pairing such as CL-CH1 binding disulphide bridges. In another embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind the variable domain of the light chain (VL) and/or the variable domain of the heavy chain (VH) of an antibody, such as the VL and/or the VH of a monoclonal antibody (mAb). In another embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind the first constant domain of the heavy chain (CH1) of an antibody, such as the CH1 of a mAb. In another embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind the constant domain of the light chain (CL) of an antibody, such as the CL of a mAb. In another embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind the third constant domain of the heavy chain (CH3) of an antibody, such as the CH3 of a mAb. In another embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind the second constant domain of the heavy chain (CH2) of an antibody, such as the CH2 of a mAb. In one embodiment, the molecule and/or ISVD of the present technology is not a Fab fragment from an antibody, such as from a mAb. In one embodiment, the molecule and/or ISVD of the present technology is not a CH, preferably is not a CH1 fragment from an antibody, such as from a mAb. In the molecule and/or ISVD of the present technology is not an antibody, such as a mAb, is not a Fc fragment, or a Fv fragment. In one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology does also not specifically bind to any non-protein molecule (including biomolecules, such as nucleic acids (e.g., DNA, RNA), lipids or glycans), e.g., to any non-protein human molecule, including biomolecules, such as human nucleic acids (e.g., human DNA, human RNA), human lipids (e.g., such as phosphatidylserine (PS)) or human glycans, e.g., human glycoplipids. In particular, the ISVD of the present technology may also not specifically bind any non-protein molecule (including biomolecules, such as nucleic acids (e.g., DNA, RNA), lipids (e.g., such as phosphatidylserine (PS)) or glycans). In another embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology may also not specifically bind to any (non-human) molecule (including biomolecules) In another embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind to any human cell. If the ISVD shows any interaction with one or more human cells, such interaction may be characterized by low specificity and/or low affinity, as defined herein. The lack of binding to any human cell can for example be assessed with the “cell binding assay” as described below (see, e.g., Hunter SA and Cochran JR, “Cell-binding assays for determining the affinity of protein-protein interactions: technologies and considerations”, Methods Enzymol., 2016, 580:21-44). In another embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind to any molecule, including human biomolecules and non-human biomolecules (e.g., non-human proteins, nucleic acids such as DNA and/or RNA, lipids (e.g., such as phosphatidylserine (PS)) or glycans), or may bind to any biomolecule, including human biomolecules and non-human biomolecules (e.g., non-human proteins, DNA, RNA, lipids (e.g., such as phosphatidylserine (PS)) or glycans) with a KD (KD value) greater than 5x10-4 mol/litre, as described herein. For instance, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind to any bacterial biomolecule (e.g., bacterial proteins, nucleic acids such as DNA, RNA, lipids (e.g., such as phosphatidylserine (PS)) or glycans), or may bind to any bacterial biomolecule with a KD (KD value) greater than 5x10-4 mol/litre, as described herein. For instance, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind to any viral molecule (e.g., viral proteins, viral nucleic acids such as viral DNA, RNA, viral lipids (e.g., such as phosphatidylserine (PS)) or viral glycans), or may bind to any viral molecule with a KD (KD value) greater than 5x10-4 mol/litre, as described herein. For instance, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind to any plant molecule (e.g., bacterial proteins, bacterial nucleic acids such as bacterial DNA, RNA, bacterial lipids (e.g., such as phosphatidylserine (PS)) or bacterial glycans), or may bind to any bacterial molecule with a KD (KD value) greater than 5x10-4 mol/litre, as described herein. For instance, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind to any mammalian molecule (e.g., mammalian proteins, mammalian nucleic acids such as DNA, RNA, lipids (e.g., such as phosphatidylserine (PS)) or glycans), or may bind to any mammalian molecule with a KD (KD value) greater than 5x10-4 mol/litre, as described herein. In the context of the present technology, the term “biomolecule” or “biological molecule” refers to molecules present in organisms, including microorganisms and/or viruses that are essential to one or more typically biological processes, such as cell division, morphogenesis, or development. Biomolecules are the building blocks of life and perform important functions in living organisms. Biomolecules include the primary metabolites which are large macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates (glycans), lipids (e.g., such as PS), and nucleic acids (such as DNA, RNA), as well as small molecules such as vitamins and hormones. The four major types of biomolecules are carbohydrates (glycans), lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. In a further embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology may not specifically bind any non-human protein and/or any non-protein molecule when at least one cargo is conjugated to the at least one attachment point or conjugation site on the ISVD. The affinity of a molecular interaction between two molecules can be measured via different techniques known per se, such as the well-known surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor technique (see for example Ober et al. 2001, Intern. Immunology 13: 1551-1559, in particular section “Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) experiments” starting on p.1552, which describes conditions for measuring the affinity of a molecular interaction between two molecules). The term "surface plasmon resonance", as used herein, refers to an optical phenomenon that allows for the analysis of real-time biospecific interactions by detection of alterations in protein concentrations within a biosensor matrix, where one molecule is immobilized on the biosensor chip and the other molecule is passed over the immobilized molecule under flow conditions yielding kon, koff measurements and hence KD (or KA) values. This can for example be performed using the well-known BIAcore® system (BIAcore International AB, a Cytiva lifesciences company, Uppsala, Sweden and Piscataway, NJ). For further descriptions, see Jonsson et al. (1993, Ann. Biol. Clin. 51: 19-26), Jonsson et al. (1991 Biotechniques 11: 620- 627), Johnsson et al. (1995, J. Mol. Recognit. 8: 125-131), and Johnnson et al. (1991, Anal. Biochem. 198: 268-277). For instance, the affinity (KD) of a molecular interaction between two molecules can be determined via SPR on a ProteOn XPR36 instrument (Bio-Rad Laboratories). The experiment can be performed at 25°C, and as assay buffer PBS pH7.4 containing 0.005% Tween 20 (Bio-Rad Laboratories) can be used. Targets such as human proteins or non-protein molecules, such as DNA, RNA, lipids (e.g., such as phosphatidylserine (PS)) or glycans can be immobilized onto different ligand lanes from a GLC sensorchip (Bio-Rad Laboratories), e.g., with the ProteOn Amine Coupling Kit (Bio-Rad Laboratories) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The ISVD of the present technology can be captured on the target immobilized ligand lanes. One ligand lane can serve as a reference surface and no ISVD was captured on the surface. Different concentrations (e.g., ranging from 300 nM to 1.2 nM) diluted in running buffer can be flowed over the respective ISVDs and reference surface in multi-cycle kinetics for 2 minutes, followed by a constant flow of the assay buffer for 15 minutes. Between the different injections, the surfaces can be regenerated with 3 M MgCl2 (Cytiva). Several buffer blanks can be injected for double referencing. Data can be analyzed, e.g., with the ProteOn Manager 3.1.0 software (Bio-Rad Laboratories). The kinetic rate constants (ka and kd) can be calculated by fitting the sensorgrams via the Langmuir 1:1 interaction ligand binding model. The equilibrium dissociation constant KD can be calculated as the kd/ka ratio.

Another well-known biosensor technique to determine affinities of biomolecular interactions is bio-layer interferometry (BLI) (see for example Abdiche et al.2008, Anal. Biochem.377: 209- 217). The term “bio-layer Interferometry” or “BLI”, as used herein, refers to a label-free optical technique that analyzes the interference pattern of light reflected from two surfaces: an internal reference layer (reference beam) and a layer of immobilized protein on the biosensor tip (signal beam). A change in the number of molecules bound to the tip of the biosensor causes a shift in the interference pattern, reported as a wavelength shift (nm), the magnitude of which is a direct measure of the number of molecules bound to the biosensor tip surface. Since the interactions can be measured in real-time, association and dissociation rates and affinities can be determined. BLI can for example be performed using the well-known Octet® Systems (ForteBio, a division of Pall Life Sciences, Menlo Park, USA). Alternatively, affinities can be measured in Kinetic Exclusion Assay (KinExA) (see for example Drake et al., “Characterizing high-affinity antigen/antibody complexes by kinetic- and equilibrium-based methods”, Anal. Biochem., 2004, 328: 35-43), using the KinExA® platform (Sapidyne Instruments Inc, Boise, USA). The“term "KinExA", as used herein, refers to a solution-based method to measure true equilibrium binding affinity and kinetics of unmodified molecules. Equilibrated solutions of a binding unit/target complex, such as an antibody/antigen complex, are passed over a column with beads precoated with antigen (or antibody), allowing the free antibody (or antigen) to bind to the coated molecule. Detection of the antibody (or antigen) thus captured is accomplished with a fluorescently labeled protein binding the antibody (or antigen). Further, the GYROLAB® immunoassay system provides a platform for automated bioanalysis and rapid sample turnaround (Fraley et al., “The Gyrolab™ immunoassay system: a platform for automated bioanalysis and rapid sample turnaround”, Bioanalysis 2013, 5: 1765-74). Further, the affinity of a molecular interaction between two molecules (e.g., between two proteins) can be measured using flow cytometry to analyze ligand binding to antigens such as proteins, lipids (e.g., phosphatidylserine (PS)), sugars (glycans), etc. presented on the surface of a cell (“cell binding assay”). The skilled person is familiar with cell-binding assays to determine the affinity of a certain soluble molecule (such as the molecule and/or ISVD of the present technology) and a binding partner present on the surface of a cell, such as a human cell. For instance, Hunter S. A. and Cochran J. R. (“Cell-binding assays for determining the affinity of protein–protein interactions: technologies and considerations”, Methods Enzymol. 2016, 580: 21–44), present a practical guide for measuring binding events between soluble ligands and binding partners expressed on the surface of, inter alia, mammalian cells. For instance, as shown in the examples, the cell binding assay can be carried out as follows: a. Adding a fixed number of human cells to a 96-well V-bottom plate (e.g., 50 μL human cell suspension (5E+04/96-well), or to tubes, such as Eppendorf tubes, in cold fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) buffer (e.g., consisting of D-PBS, 2% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (HI FBS) and 0.05% Sodium Azide). b. Performing a washing step; c. Adding the soluble molecule, e.g., the molecule of the present technology, preferably marked, such as with a fluorescent label or an epitope tag, and incubate for a certain amount of time, until the reaction has come to equilibrium, generally a number of hours, e.g., for about 3h, at low temperature, typically 4°C while shaking; d. Evaluate the binding of the soluble molecule to the human cells by flow cytometry, e.g., by FACS. In order to calculate the KD of the binding between a soluble molecule, e.g., the molecule of the present technology, and a human cell, the soluble molecule in step c. above may be added to each well/tube at varying concentrations, spanning two orders of magnitude above and below the anticipated KD. Binding values can be determined from the average signal value (e.g., average fluorescence value) of each sample, plotting the fraction bound vs. ligand concentration (log scale) and fitting a sigmoidal curve using nonlinear regression analysis. The KD value can be derived from the ligand concentration at half the fraction bound. The skilled person is able to determine whether a molecule is able to specifically bind human proteins, as defined in the context of the present technology. For instance, the skilled person may make use of commercially available protein arrays to determine the binding affinity of a certain molecule (protein) towards human proteins. For instance, the skilled person may make use of the commercially available Proteome Profiler™ Antibody Arrays, which allows for the semiquantitative measurement of more than 100 proteins in a single sample. Alternatively or additionally, the skilled person may make use of, for example, HuProt™ assay, such as the version v4.0, which consists of >21,000 unique human proteins, isoform variants, and protein fragments – covering 16,794 unique genes. This includes 15,889 of the 19,613 canonical human proteins described in the Human Protein Atlas, with broad coverage across protein subclasses. Similarly, the skilled person is able to determine whether a molecule is able to specifically bind a non-human protein, such as a bacterial or viral protein. For instance, the skilled person may make use of protein-binding assays to determine the binding affinity of a certain molecule (e.g., a protein) towards non-human (such as bacterial or viral) proteins. Similarly, the skilled person is able to determine whether a molecule (e.g., a protein) is able to specifically bind a non-protein molecule, e.g., a human non-protein molecule, such as human DNA, human RNA, human lipids or human glycans, see, e.g., Campanero-Rhodes MA et al., “Microarray strategies for exploring bacterial surface glycans and their interactions with glycan-binding proteins”, Front Microbiol. 2020, 10:2909. For instance, as described above, the binding affinity of a molecular interaction between two molecules (such as two proteins, or a protein and a non- protein molecule) can be measured by SPR. SPR allows for the determination of the KD of a potential interaction between two molecules, as described in detail above. As it will be evident to the skilled person, the at least one ISVD comprised in the molecule of the present technology may show non-specific binding with one or more human proteins (and/or with one or more non-human proteins, and/or with one or more non-protein molecules, such as human non-protein molecules, as described above). This is because there may be molecular forces between the at least one ISVD of the present technology and one or more human proteins (and/or one or more non-human proteins, and/or one or more non- protein molecules, such as human non-protein molecules, as described above), e.g., in the form of hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals interactions, and other nonspecific interactions. Hence, if this happens, the at least one ISVD comprised in the molecule of the present technology may non-specifically bind to one or more human proteins (and/or to one or more non-human proteins, and/or to one or more non-protein molecules, such as human non-protein molecules, if this is the case, as described above). In the context of the present technology, any KD value greater than 5x10-4 mol/litre (or any KA value lower than 2x103 litres/mol) is generally considered to represent “non-specific binding”. Hence, in one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology may bind to any human protein (or non- human protein, if this is the case, as explained above) with a KD greater than 5x10-4 mol/litre (or with a KA value lower than 2x103 litres/mol), such as with a KD greater than 5.5x10- 4 mol/litre (or with a KA value lower than 1.8x103 litres/mol), or with a KD greater than 6x10- 4 mol/litre (or with a KA value lower than 1.7x103 litres/mol). In addition, in the context of the present technology, in a preferred embodiment, the ISVD may bind to any non-protein molecule, such as to any human non-protein molecule (e.g., DNA, RNA, lipids, glycans) with a KD greater than 5x10-4 mol/litre (or with a KA value lower than 2x103 litres/mol), such as with a KD greater than 5.5x10-4 mol/litre (or with a KA value lower than 1.8x103 litres/mol), or with a KD greater than 6x10-4 mol/litre (or with a KA value lower than 1.7x103 litres/mol). In the context of the present technology, this binding affinity is considered to be “non-specific binding”. In one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology is not derived from the crystallizable fragment of an antibody (Fc, which contains two CH2 and two CH3 domains) such as the Fc fragment of a monoclonal antibody (mAb). In another embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology is not derived from the CH2 and/or the CH3 domains of the Fc fragment. In another embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology is not derived from a CH1 and/or the CL domains comprised in the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) of an antibody, such as the CH1 and/or the CL domains comprised in the Fab of a mAb. In one embodiment, the molecule of the present technology is not (or is not derived from) a crystallizable fragment (Fc) of an antibody, such as a mAb. In another embodiment, the molecule of the present technology is not (or is not derived from) the Fab of an antibody, such as a mAb. In one embodiment, the molecule of the present technology does not comprise VH-VL pairs or, e.g., it does not comprise at least one VH and at least one VL which interact (are bound to) with each other, such as in an antibody. In another embodiment, the molecule of the present technology does not comprise CL-CH1 conjugates, e.g., it does not comprise at least one CL and at least one CH1 which are linked to each other, e.g., through a disulphide bridge. Attachment points or conjugation sites As mentioned above, the ISVD present in the molecule of the present technology has at least one “attachment point” (also referred to as “conjugation site” in the present disclosure), preferably at a solvent-accessible position, as defined further below. Preferably, the at least one ISVD comprises more than one attachment points or conjugation sites, preferably at solvent-accessible positions. In a preferred embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology comprises at least two attachment points or conjugation sites. In another embodiment, the ISVD comprises three conjugation sites or more, such as six, seven, eight, or nine conjugation sites, or more. For instance, ISVD may have two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten conjugation sites or more. In another embodiment, alternatively or additionally, if there is more than one conjugation site, the conjugation sites are spatially distant from each other (spatially separated from each other). The skilled person will appreciate that the minimal distance between conjugation sites will be dictated by the nature of the cargos (and linkers, if used) which are to be attached or conjugated to the attachment points or conjugation sites in the ISVD. For larger cargos (e.g., ISVDs), the minimal distance can still be kept small when used in combination with long linkers, which add the needed flexibility and the envisaged target binding. A short distance between conjugation sites, combined with short linkers, if any, will likely limit the target binding (or other activity) of larger cargos, and result in restricted engagement (e.g., increased cell specificity). In addition, the solubility of the molecule may be decreased (i.e., the molecule may be more prone to aggregation). On the other hand, if the cargos to be attached are rather small (e.g., radioactive isotopes), the minimal distance can be kept small even in the absence of linkers. Hence, the skilled person will be able to select the location of the specific conjugation sites and the length and flexibility of the linkers, if any, depending on the nature of the cargos which are to be attached or conjugated to the ISVD. In the context of the present technology, a “conjugation site” or “attachment point” is preferably a primary amine, e.g., the primary amine in the side chain of a lysine, preferably located at a solvent-accessible position in the ISVD, or the N-terminal primary amine in the ISVD. Preferably, in the context of the present technology, a “conjugation site” or “attachment point” is the primary amine present in the side chain of a lysine, i.e., of a natural amino acid which is a lysine. Of course, the ISVD of the present technology may comprise other conjugation sites or attachment points (for site-specific and/or stochastic conjugation) which are not primary amines. In one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology comprises only primary amines as conjugation sites or attachment points. In one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology comprises only primary amines in the side chain of lysines as conjugation sites or attachment points. Hence, in a preferred embodiment, the “conjugation site(s)” or “attachment point(s)” present in the ISVD of the present technology is(are) primary amine(s) present in the side chain of one or more lysines. In one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology comprises a N-terminal comprises a pyroglutamate modification, i.e., does not comprise the N-terminal primary amine. In the context of the present technology, the “C-terminal or N-terminal reactive group of the ISVD” refers to the -COOH and -NH2 reactive groups present in the C- and N-terminal amino acid of the ISVD. The ISVD may not have a free C- and/or N-terminal end (e.g., because the ISVD is C- and/or N-terminal linked to a cargo molecule as defined herein, or to another ISVD, or to another peptide or protein, or because the N-terminal is acetylated, or has been subjected to pyroglutamation, see below, or because the C-terminal is amidated, etc.). If the N-terminal of the ISVD is not free (e.g., because the ISVD is N-terminal linked to another ISVD, or to another peptide or protein, or because the N-terminal is acetylated, or has been subjected to pyroglutamation), then it is not suitable as attachment point or conjugation site as defined herein. The at least one conjugation site or attachment point present in the ISVD of the present technology may be already present in the ISVD precursor (e.g., the -NH2 group in the side chain of a lysine present in the ISVD precursor, preferably at a solvent-accessible position, or the N- terminal primary amine) or may be engineered. Preferably, at least one or more of the attachment points or conjugation sites of the ISVD are engineered. In the context of the present technology, an ”engineered” attachment point or conjugation site, or an “engineered” lysine, means a conjugation site or attachment point, or a lysine, which is present in the ISVD, but which was not present in its precursor at the same or corresponding position. For instance, the ISVD may be modified to introduce one or more attachment points or conjugation sites (i.e., one or more lysines), as described in detail below. A non-limiting example of an engineered attachment point or conjugation site is a primary amine present in the side chain of a lysine in the ISVD which lysine was not present at the same or equivalent position in the ISVD precursor. For instance, if the ISVD has an arginine at a certain position X (which is preferably a solvent-accessible position) in the ISVD precursor, and that arginine is mutated to a lysine in the ISVD, the -NH2 group of that lysine would be an engineered attachment point or conjugation site. For instance, if a lysine is added at the N- or C-terminal of the ISVD precursor, the -NH2 group present in the side chain of that newly added lysine would be an engineered attachment point or conjugation site. Hence, in a preferred embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology has at least one conjugation site or attachment point which is an engineered attachment point or conjugation site, i.e., it was not present in the ISVD precursor at the same or corresponding position. In another preferred embodiment, all of the conjugation sites or attachment points present in the ISVD of the present technology are engineered attachment points or conjugation sites, i.e., they were not present in the ISVD precursor at the same or corresponding position. In one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology has two or more engineered attachment points or conjugation sites, such as three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more engineered attachment points or conjugation sites. As used herein a residue position in one polypeptide sequence “corresponds to” a residue position in another polypeptide sequence if it exists in an equivalent position in the polypeptide sequence, as indicated, e.g., by primary sequence homology or functional equivalence or Kabat numbering. A corresponding position may be identified by alignment of the two polypeptide sequences. The alignment used to identify a corresponding position or corresponding region may be obtained using a conventional alignment algorithm such as Blast (Altschul et al., “Basic local alignment search tool”, J Mol Biol., 1990, 215(3):403-10). Thus, the at least one conjugation site present in the ISVD of the present technology is a primary amine. For instance, the conjugation site may be a free or capped (protected) primary amine, preferably located at a solvent-accessible position. Hence, the ISVD of the present technology is designed as a “carrier” or “delivery” moiety, with at least one attachment point or conjugation site at desired position(s) in the sequence of the ISVD. The at least one “attachment point” or “conjugation site” is preferably a primary amine comprised in the ISVD of the present technology, e.g., the N-terminal primary amine and/or a primary amine on the side chain of a Lys. The ISVD of the present technology preferably comprises at least two attachment points or conjugation sites, or more, as described below (e.g., two lysines, or more, or one lysine (or more) and the N-terminal primary amine), for conjugation or attachment of cargos, as defined in detail below. Suitable cargos include proteins, peptides, toxic payloads, nucleic acids, oligonucleotides, fluorophores, glycans, chelators for/and radio-isotopes, half-life extending moieties, e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecules and/or HSA-based or binding moieties, vitamins (such as biotin or folate), etc. Specific non-limiting examples of suitable cargos are depicted below in the present description. Addition of a C- or N- lysine For instance, the conjugation sites may be generated by adding, in the ISVD precursor, one or more C- or N-terminal lysines. Preferably, if present, the one or more terminal Lys is added at the C-terminus of the ISVD precursor. Hence, in one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology comprises an engineered lysine located at the C-terminus of the ISVD’s amino acid sequence. Finally, as described above, the conjugation sites may be generated by combinations of the above mechanisms, e.g., the at least one conjugation site can be obtained by performing point mutations, as described above, and/or by adding a C- and/or N- terminal lysine, as described above. Solvent-accessible positions As described above, the at least one conjugation site or attachment point (i.e., the at least one lysine or primary amine) present in the ISVD of the present technology, if any, is preferably located at a solvent-accessible position in the ISVD. The skilled person is able to identify “solvent-accessible positions” in an ISVD. This can be performed in silico by means of computer modelling. For instance, the skilled person can make use of readily available software tools such as MAESTRO (Schrödinger, LLC, New York, NY, 2021), a multi-agent prediction system, based on statistical scoring functions (SSFs) and different machine learning approaches, see, e.g., Laimer et al. BMC Bioinformatics (2015) 16:116. In addition, the skilled person can also make use of readily available software tools such as YASARA (www.yasara.org), for identifying at least potential solvent-accessible positions for the at least one conjugation site of the ISVD. With the help of in silico tools such as MAESTRO or YASARA, the skilled person is able to identify solvent-accessible positions that are potentially suitable for engineering conjugations sites as defined above. Hence, with the help of tools such as MAESTRO or YASARA, potentially suitable conjugation sites are identified. An example of how to identify solvent-accessible positions that are potentially suitable for engineering conjugations sites as defined above is provided herein. For instance, one ISVD is selected as starting point for developing the ISVD of the present technology (the ISVD precursor). Using, e.g., MAESTRO, residues in the ISVD precursor with a Solvent-Accessible Surface Area (SASA) greater than or equal to, e.g., 27 Å2 (square angstrom) can be considered to be solvent-accessible. The stability (∆G in solvent) of the mutation of each of the identified residues (e.g., to a lysine residue) can then be calculated, see, e.g., Laimer J. et al, “MAESTRO- -multi agent stability prediction upon point mutations”, BMC Bioinformatics, 2015, 16:116, for further details. Destabilizing mutations (e.g., mutations for which the calculated ∆G in solvent is higher) are generally not further considered as potential positions for conjugation sites or attachment points. Hence, once potentially suitable conjugation sites are identified with the help of tools such as MAESTRO or YASARA, the stability (∆G in solvent) of the mutation of each of the identified residues (e.g., to a lysine residue) is calculated. Those residues with lower calculated ∆G in solvent would be preferably further selected as potential positions for conjugation sites or attachment points. For instance, ∆G values in the range of -20 to +5 can be considered as non-destabilizing mutations. The skilled person will understand that the ∆G value for each of the mutations of the identified residues may vary depending on the specific protein and/or the specific mutations considered. The skilled person will also understand that the preferred mutations are those whose ∆G values are the lowest. Depending on these ∆G values, the number of conjugation sites and the type of cargo that will be conjugated, the skilled person will further select certain positions over others among the ones initially identified as potentially solvent-accessible with the help of tools such as MAESTRO or YASARA. Alternatively or additionally, the skilled person can use hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) to determine at least potential solvent-accessible positions in a protein. HDX-MS reports on the local chemical environment and solvent accessibility of the protein backbone by monitoring the exchange of peptide bond amide protons with the deuterons of a D2O solvent. The rate of hydrogen-deuterium exchange is dependent on the solvent accessibility and folded state of the protein (see Englander SW. et al., “Hydrogen exchange: the modern legacy of Linderstrøm-Lang”, Protein Sci., 1997, 6(5):1101-9). If the identified solvent-accessible position is to be occupied by a certain amino acid with a reactive group in its side chain, (e.g., by a lysine), the in silico modelling (e.g., with MAESTRO) will also take into account the potential interactions of the reactive group of that amino acid with other reactive groups present in the side chain of other amino acids present in the ISVD. Additionally or alternatively, the “solvent-accessible positions” can be identified and/or verified empirically. For instance, the “solvent-accessible positions” theoretically identified using available in silico software tools such as MAESTRO, as described above, may preferably be empirically confirmed by manufacturability. Formulation and process stability of potential ISVD candidates help narrow down lead candidates at an early stage, prior to large-scale manufacturing (see the examples and also, e.g., Ramachander, R., Rathore, N. (2013), ”Molecule and manufacturability assessment leading to robust commercial formulation for therapeutic proteins” in: Kolhe, P., Shah, M., Rathore, N. (eds) Sterile Product Development, AAPS Advances in the Pharmaceutical Sciences Series, vol 6. Springer, New York, NY). Hence, once potential suitable solvent-accessible positions have been theoretically identified in the ISVD precursor, expression levels, conjugation efficiency, formulation, quality control, solubility, process stability, etc., of the resulting ISVD should preferably be evaluated. Solvent- accessible positions which lead to ISVD excelling in expression yield, manufacturability, solubility and/or stability are preferred. For instance, once suitable solvent-accessible positions have been theoretically identified in the ISVD precursor, protein expression of the selected variants (i.e., the resulting ISVDs with amino acid(s) bearing the conjugation site(s) in the theoretically-selected solvent-accessible position(s)) may take place. In this step it can be asserted whether the introduction of the specific amino acids at the theoretically-identified solvent accessible positions (e.g., point mutations, addition of amino acids at the N- and/or C-terminal of the protein) has a negative impact on, e.g., the synthesis, expression levels, conjugation efficiency, binding affinity, etc. of each specific variant. Possible changes in 3D structure could be assessed, for example, by CD (circular dichroism) spectrum analysis, as described in detail above. In addition, the stability of the resulting variants can also be confirmed with a Thermal Shift Assay. This assay detects protein melting temperatures (Tm) and can thus be used to check protein stability. It can be used to characterize the stability/folding of a protein’s 3D structure. SYPRO® Orange is a naturally quenched dye that interacts with the hydrophobic core of proteins which becomes visible following thermal denaturation. As a result, the temperature in the middle of the thermal denaturation process is labelled as melting temperature Tm. This is a way of assessing the stability of the resulting ISVDs, see the examples for more details. In addition, “model cargos” can be attached or conjugated to the selected variants, in order to quantify the extent of conjugation (conjugation efficiency), i.e., to ascertain whether the resulting ISVD with the conjugation sites at the selected solvent-accessible positions will in practice be suitable for the attachment or conjugation of the desired cargos. A “model cargo” may be any molecule with a molecular weight higher than, e.g., 100 Da. For instance, if a potential conjugation site is a primary amine, a “model cargo” may be a labelled ester, such as a biotin-labelled ester, e.g., a N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-long chain (LC)-Biotin ester, such as EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-LC Biotin (see Example 4), which can react efficiently with primary amines to form stable, irreversible amide bonds. For instance, if the conjugation of the “model cargo(s)” results in a stable conjugate (ISVD with one or more model cargos conjugated to it), with an acceptable extent of conjugation (to be decided on a case-by-case basis, for example ≥90% conjugation efficiency, such as 90% conjugation efficiency, or 95% conjugation efficiency or more, or 97% conjugation efficiency or more, or 99% conjugation efficiency or more), allowing a standard PK in vivo, preserving its globular 3D structure and the conjugation status in vivo, etc., those solvent-accessible positions should be preferred for cargo conjugation, and conjugation of the desired cargo(s) may take place, see also the examples below. In a preferred embodiment, the solvent accessible position is selected from the following positions (according to Kabat numbering): 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 19, 43, 44, 45, 61, 64, 70, 71, 73, 75, 83, 85, 105 and/or 108, preferably from the following positions (according to Kabat numbering): 19, 43, 45, 64, 71, 73, 75, 83, 105 and/or 108, and more preferably from the following positions (according to Kabat numbering): 45, 73, and/or 108. In one embodiment, the solvent accessible position is selected from the following positions (according to Kabat numbering): 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 44, 45, 61, 70, 71, 73, 85 and/or 108. In one embodiment, the solvent accessible position is not one or more of the following positions (according to Kabat numbering): 19, 43, 64, 75, 83, 97 and 105. Point mutations In one embodiment, the at least one conjugation site present in the ISVD may be generated by introducing specific point mutations at solvent-accessible positions in the peptide sequence of the ISVD precursor. For instance, point mutations may be introduced at solvent- accessible positions in the ISVD precursor in order to generate the ISVD comprised in the molecule of the present technology, which comprises at least one conjugation site or attachment point at defined solvent-accessible positions, as described herein. For instance, the conjugation sites may be generated by mutating specific amino acids preferably at solvent-accessible positions of an ISVD precursor to lysine (“Lys-mutations”). The preferred solvent accessible positions are: 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 19, 43, 44, 45, 61, 64, 70, 71, 73, 75, 83, 85, 105 and/or 108 (according to Kabat), more preferably, 19, 43, 45, 64, 71, 73, 75, 83, 105 and/or 108, such as at positions 43 and/or 45, or positions 45, 108 and/or 73, preferably 45. In one embodiment, the solvent accessible position is selected from the following positions (according to Kabat numbering): 5, 7, 10, 12, 13, 44, 45, 61, 70, 71, 73, 85 and/or 108. Preferably the solvent accessible position is selected from the following positions (according to Kabat numbering): 45, 108 and 73. In one embodiment, the solvent accessible position is not one or more of the following positions (according to Kabat numbering): 19, 43, 64, 75, 83, 97 and 105. Additionally or alternatively, the ISVD precursor may be modified by adding one or more Lys at the N- and/or C-terminal of the protein sequence, to introduce at least one conjugation site or attachment point, as described herein, to generate the ISVD of the present technology. In another embodiment, the at least one conjugation site may be already present preferably at solvent-accessible positions in the ISVD precursor, and there is no need of generating it. This is the case for the primary amine at the N-terminal of the ISVD, or the primary amine in the side chain of, e.g., a lysine preferably already present at a solvent-accessible position in the ISVD precursor, e.g., at positions 43, 64, 75 and/or 83 (according to Kabat). If the ISVD comprises more than one conjugation sites, these can be generated by introducing, e.g., specific point mutations preferably at solvent-accessible positions in the peptide sequence of the ISVD precursor to lysine (“Lys-mutations”). Additionally or alternatively, other suitable conjugation sites or attachment points may be already present preferably at solvent-accessible positions in the ISVD precursor, i.e., there is no need of generating these conjugation sites by introducing, e.g., specific point mutations to lysine and/or adding one or more lysines at the N- and/or C-terminal of the ISVD precursor. The skilled person will decide on the number and position of the attachment point(s) or conjugation site(s) based on the ISVD and the cargo(s) to be attached to it, directly or by means of a linker, as described herein.

As shown in the examples, the inventors have surprisingly found that performing point mutations at positions 43, 64 and/or 75 (according to Kabat) does not compromise the Tm and affinity of the resulting ISVDs. Preferably, the at least one ISVD comprises two lysines at two positions selected from: 43, 64, 75 and 83 (according to Kabat) and comprises an amino acid selected from glutamine, histidine, arginine, alanine, and glutamate, preferably arginine, at the other position of 43, 64 and 75.

In one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology comprises only two lysines in its amino acid sequence, wherein the two lysines are located at positions 43, 64, 75 and/or 83 (according to Kabat). In another embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology comprises two lysines, wherein the two lysines are located at positions 43, 64, 75 and/or 83 (according to Kabat). In another embodiment, the at least one ISVD comprised in the molecule of the present technology does not comprise any lysine in its sequence. Hence, in this embodiment, the at least one ISVD either does not comprise any attaching point which is a primary amine or comprises a N-terminal primary amine. As shown in the examples, the inventors have surprisingly found that the lack of lysines in the sequence of ISVDs do not compromise the Tm and affinity of the resulting ISVDs. Preferably, the at least one ISVD does not comprise any lysine in its sequence and comprises an amino acid selected from glutamine, histidine, arginine, alanine, and glutamate, preferably arginine, at positions 43, 64 and/or 75.

Preferably, the at least one ISVD does not comprise any lysine in its sequence and comprises an amino acid selected from glutamine, histidine, arginine, alanine, and glutamate, preferably arginine, at all of positions 43, 64, 75 and 83. Even more preferably, the at least one ISVD does not comprise any lysine in its sequence and comprises an amino acid selected from glutamine, histidine, arginine, and glutamate, preferably arginine, at all of positions 43, 64, 75 and 83. In one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology does not comprise any primary amine in its sequence, i.e., it does not comprise any lysine in its sequence, and it also does not comprise a N-terminal primary amine (e.g., because the N-terminal comprises a pyroglutamate modification). Site-specific conjugation on attachment points or conjugation sites “Site-specific” conjugation of ISVD-cargo conjugates, in the context of the present technology, refers to the process of attaching cargos (as defined herein, such as half-life extending moieties, targeting moieties, therapeutic moieties or precursors therefrom, imaging moieties, toxic molecules, drugs, nucleic acids, vitamins, etc.) to specific sites or positions in the ISVD. This process ensures that the cargo attaches to the designated location on the ISVD, thereby minimizing the chance of random or nonspecific binding. By conjugating a cargo to a specific site on the antigen-binding molecule, such as an antibody or an ISVD, site-specific conjugation helps maintain the binding affinity and specificity of the antigen-binding molecule for its target antigen, while also optimizing the pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy of the drug. It enables precise control of the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), ensuring consistent and well- defined drug loading on each antibody molecule (see, e.g., Pharm Res (2015) 32:3480–3493). Hence, site-specific conjugation requires the designed positioning of attachment points or conjugations sites in the ISVD sequence, so that the conjugation with cargos (as defined herein) takes place at the desired position(s) and with the desired ISVD-drug ratio. The at least one ISVD present in the molecule of the present technology is thus suitable for site specific conjugation of cargos to the one or more conjugation sites or attachment points comprised in the ISVD, if any, wherein the conjugation sites or attachment points are primary amines (e.g., present in the side chain of a Lys or at the N-terminus). Hence, the present technology provides an ISVD which can be used for site-specific conjugation on one or more primary amines present in the side chain of a natural amino acid, lysine, and/or at the N-terminal end of the ISVD. Hence, the present technology provides an ISVD that comprises one or more primary amines present in the side chain of a natural amino acid, lysine, and/or at the N- terminal end of the ISVD and that can be used for site-specific conjugation. Molecules comprising at least one ISVD and at least one cargo In one embodiment, at least one of the attachment points or conjugation sites present in the ISVD is linked (directly or via a linker) to a cargo, as defined herein. In a preferred embodiment, the molecule of the present technology comprises at least one ISVD and at least one cargo, wherein the at least one cargo is attached or conjugated to the at least one ISVD through the at least one attachment point or conjugation site. A “cargo” may be any molecule which is/may be attached or conjugated to the ISVD through the attachment point(s) or conjugation site(s) present therein. For instance, cargos which may be attached or conjugated to the ISVD of the present technology are proteins, peptides, ISVDs (such as VHH, VL or VH), polyethylene glycol (PEG), small molecules, glycans, lipids, chelators, fluorophores, radio isotopes, vitamins, nucleic acids, etc. The cargo may have different functionalities. For instance, the at least one cargo may be a half-life extending (HLE) molecule, a targeting molecule, a therapeutic molecule or precursor thereof, an imaging molecule, a toxic molecule, an agonist, a T-cell engagement molecule, a sweeping/degrader molecule, a cell-penetrating molecule, a nuclear localization molecule, a blood brain barrier (BBB) shuttle, a radiotherapeutic molecule or an imaging probe. Hence, in another embodiment, the molecule of the present technology comprises at least one ISVD and at least one cargo, wherein the cargo is attached or conjugated to the at least one ISVD through the at least one attachment point or conjugation site, and wherein the cargo is a HLE molecule, such as an albumin-binding ISVD (as described herein) or a PEG molecule, or ELNN polypeptides, as described herein. In another embodiment, the molecule of the present technology comprises at least one ISVD and at least one cargo, wherein the cargo is attached or conjugated to the at least one ISVD through the at least one attachment point or conjugation site, and wherein the cargo is a targeting moiety and/or a therapeutic moiety as described herein. In a further embodiment, the molecule of the present technology comprises at least one ISVD and at least two cargos, wherein the cargos are attached or conjugated to the at least one ISVD through at least two attachment points or conjugation sites, wherein the at least two cargos are one HLE molecule, as described herein, and one therapeutic and/or targeting moiety, as described herein. Hence, the at least one conjugation site present in the at least one ISVD comprised in the molecule of the present technology allows for conjugation of different cargos (directly or by means of a linker, as it will be clear to the skilled person and described in detail below). The skilled person is aware of ways of attaching cargos to the conjugation site(s) present in the ISVD. For instance, Spicer C. D. et al. (“Achieving controlled biomolecule-biomaterial conjugation”, Chem Rev. 2018, 118(16):7702-7743), the content of which is herewith incorporated by reference, provides a review on the chemistry of biomolecule conjugation and provide a comprehensive overview of the key strategies for achieving controlled functionalization. For instance, if the conjugation site is the N-terminal primary amine of the ISVD and/or the primary amine present in the side chain of a Lys preferably located at a solvent-accessible position in the ISVD, the cargo may be attached or conjugated to the ISVD (directly or by means of a linker) by reaction of a group present in the cargo/linker (e.g., isothiocyanates, isocyanates, acyl azides, NHS esters, sulfonyl chlorides, aldehydes, glyoxals, epoxides, oxiranes, carbonates, aryl halides, imidoesters, carbodiimides, anhydrides, or fluorophenyl esters) and the primary amine. See, e.g., Bioconjugate Techniques (Third edition), 2013, Chapter 3 – “The reactions of bioconjugation”, Greg T.Hermanson.

In the context of the present technology, a “cargo” is any molecule which is/may be attached or conjugated to the ISVD through the attachment point(s) or conjugation site(s) present therein. Hence, a “cargo”, in the context of the present technology, may be any molecule, including proteins, peptides, toxic payloads, nucleic acids (such as DNA, RNA, siRNA, RNAi, etc.), glycans, radio-isotopes, PEG, biotin, etc. and combinations thereof, see below for specific examples. Hence, the molecule of the present technology may comprise at least one cargo as defined herein conjugated to one of the attachment points or conjugation sites present in the at least one ISVD. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one cargo which may be attached to the conjugation site(s) of the at least one ISVD of the present technology is an ISVD as described herein (also referred to in the present description as “cargo ISVD”). In this context, the cargo ISVD may preferably specifically bind to one or more proteins in the human body, such as human proteins and/or may also specifically bind other proteins present in the human body (e.g., viral or bacterial proteins which are in the human body). In a preferred embodiment, the molecule of the present technology comprises at least one ISVD and at least one cargo attached to one of the conjugation sites or attachment points present in the ISVD, preferably to a conjugation site or attachment point which is the side chain of a Lys preferably located at a solvent-accessible position of the ISVD, as described above, preferably wherein the at least one cargo is also an ISVD. In another embodiment, the at least one cargo which may be attached to the conjugation site(s) of the at least one ISVD of the present technology is a group, residue, moiety or binding unit which provides the ISVD (and/or molecule) of the present technology with increased (in vivo) half-life compared to the corresponding ISVD/molecule without said one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units. The cargos are attached (or “anchored”, “conjugated”, “linked”) to the at least one ISVD via the at least one conjugation site, as described above. The cargo(s) and the at least one ISVD may be directly linked to each other (as for example described in WO 1999/23221) and/or may be linked to each other via one or more suitable linkers, or any combination thereof. Suitable linkers for use in the molecule of the technology will be clear to the skilled person, and may generally be any linker used in the art to link amino acid sequences or any other molecule comprised in the cargo. Preferably, said linker is suitable for use in constructing proteins or polypeptides that are intended for pharmaceutical use. Some particularly preferred linkers include the linkers that are used in the art to link antibody fragments or antibody domains. These include the linkers mentioned in the publication cited above, as well as for example linkers that are used in the art to construct diabodies or ScFv fragments (in this respect, however, it should be noted that, whereas in diabodies and in ScFv fragments, the linker sequence used should have a length, a degree of flexibility and other properties that allow the pertinent VH and VL domains to come together to form the complete antigen-binding site, there is no particular limitation on the length or the flexibility of the linker used in the molecule of the technology; this can be tuned depending on the specific applications, e.g., on the number and nature of the cargos to be attached to the ISVD, on the specific position and number of attachment points or conjugation sites and on the nature of the linker. As also shown in the Examples, the skilled person will be able to select an appropriate linker for a certain application). For example, a linker may be a suitable amino acid or amino acid sequence, and in particular amino acid sequences of between 1 and 50, preferably between 1 and 30, such as between 1 and 10 amino acid residues. Some preferred examples of such amino acid sequences include Gly-Ser linkers, for example of the type (GlyxSery)z, such as (for example (Gly4Ser)3 or (Gly3Ser2)3, as described in WO 1999/42077 and the GS30, GS15, GS9 and GS7 linkers described in the applications by Ablynx mentioned herein (see for example WO 2006/040153 and WO 2006/122825), as well as hinge-like regions, such as the hinge regions of naturally occurring heavy chain antibodies or similar sequences (such as described in WO 1994/04678). Some linkers are depicted in Table A-1 below. For instance, a preferred linker which may be used in the molecule of the present technology is depicted in SEQ ID NO.: 113 (15GS). Some other particularly preferred linkers are poly-alanine (such as AAA), as well as the linkers GS30 (SEQ ID NO: 85 in WO 2006/122825) and GS9 (SEQ ID NO: 84 in WO 06/122825). Polyethylene glycol (PEG), in any of the variants described below, may also be used as a linker in the molecule of the present technology. Other suitable linkers for use in the molecule of the present technology are described, e.g., in Kjeldsen T. et al. (“Dually reactive long recombinant linkers for bioconjugations as an alternative to PEG”, ACS Omega, 2020, 5:19827−19833). As described therein polar protein sequences with PEG-like properties, sometimes called “recombinant PEG”, have in recent years been described by Alvarez (“Improving protein pharmacokinetics by genetic fusion to simple amino acid sequences”, J. Biol. Chem., 2004, 279:3375−3381), Amumix (mixed sequences of GEDSTAP residues, termed “ELNN polypeptides”, see, e.g., US 2014/0301974 A1), XL-protein (PAS repeats), Novo Nordisk (GQAP-like repeats), SOBI and others (see, e.g., Table A-1 below). As used herein, the terms “ELNN polypeptides” and “ELNNs” are synonymous and refer to extended length polypeptides comprising non-naturally occurring, substantially non- repetitive sequences (e.g., polypeptide motifs) that are composed mainly of small hydrophilic amino acids, with the sequence having a low degree or no secondary or tertiary structure under physiologic conditions. ELNN polypeptides include unstructured hydrophilic polypeptides comprising repeating motifs of 6 natural amino acids (G, A, P, E, S, and/or T). In some embodiments, an ELNN polypeptide comprises multiple motifs of 6 natural amino acids (G, A, P, E, S, T), wherein the motifs are the same or comprise a combination of different motifs. In some embodiments, ELNN polypeptides can confer certain desirable pharmacokinetic, physicochemical, and pharmaceutical properties when linked to proteins (e.g., when linked to the ISVD of the present technology). Such desirable properties may include but are not limited to enhanced pharmacokinetic parameters and solubility characteristics, as well as improved therapeutic index. ELNN polypeptides are known in the art, and non-limiting descriptions relating to and examples of ELNN polypeptides known as XTEN® polypeptides are available in Schellenberger et al., (2009), Nat Biotechnol 27(12):1186- 90; Brandl et al., (2020), Journal of Controlled Release 327:186-197; and Radon et al., (2021), Advanced Functional Materials 31, 2101633 (pages 1-33), the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference. Ravtansine/soravtansine (N2ʹ-Deacetyl-N2ʹ-(4-mercapto-4-methyl-1-oxopentyl)-maytansine or DM4, CAS Registry Number: 796073-69-3) is a maytansinoid connected via a cleavable chemical linker to the targeting mAb which may be used as a cytotoxic component of, e.g., antibody-drug conjugates. This cleavable linker is also suitable for being used in the molecule of the present technology. It is encompassed within the scope of the technology that the length, the degree of flexibility and/or other properties of the linker(s) used may have some influence on the properties of the molecule of the technology. Based on the disclosure herein and the disclosure of other publications, such as, for example, WO 2017/089618, the skilled person will be able to determine the optimal linker(s) for use in the specific molecule of the technology, optionally after some limited routine experiments. Further suitable linkers for use in the molecule of the technology are, e.g., cleavable linkers, i.e., linkers which have a trigger in its structure that can be efficiently cleaved. For instance, Su, Z. et al. (“Antibody–drug conjugates: Recent advances in linker chemistry”, Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2021, 11(12): 3889-3907) reviews linkers that may be comprised in antibody-drug conjugates and which may also be used in the molecule of the present technology. For example, suitable linkers for use in the molecule of the present technology are APN-maleimide linker (3-(4-(2,5-dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)phenyl)propiolonitrile, MAPN) or bis-maleimido-PEG3 (BM(PEG)3) linker (BM(PEG)3 (1,11-bismaleimido- triethyleneglycol)). When two or more linkers are used in the molecule of the technology, these linkers may be the same or different. Again, based on the disclosure herein, the skilled person will be able to determine the optimal linkers for use in the specific molecule of the technology, optionally after some limited routine experiments. (In vivo) half-life extending moieties As described above, the molecule of the present technology may comprise one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units, optionally linked via one or more linkers, such as peptide linkers, as defined above, in which said one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units provide the molecule of the present technology with increased (in vivo) half- life, compared to the corresponding molecule without said one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units (“(in vivo) half-life extending moiety”, or “half-life extending (HLE) moiety”). The HLE moiety is a cargo as described above when it is attached or conjugated to the at least one attachment point or conjugation site comprised in the ISVD of the present technology, which is(are) primary amine(s) in the side chain of lysine(s) located at solvent accessible positions, or at the C-terminus, or the N-terminal primary amine. The term “half-life” as used here can generally be defined as described in paragraph o) on page 57 of WO 2008/020079 and as mentioned therein refers to the time taken for the serum concentration of the compound or polypeptide to be reduced by 50%, in vivo, for example due to degradation of the sequence or compound and/or clearance or sequestration of the sequence or compound by natural mechanisms. The in vivo half-life of the ISVD and/or molecule of the technology can be determined in any manner known per se, such as by pharmacokinetic analysis. Suitable techniques will be clear to the person skilled in the art, and may for example generally be as described in paragraph o) on page 57 of WO 2008/020079. As also mentioned in paragraph o) on page 57 of WO 2008/020079, the half-life can be expressed using parameters such as the t1/2-alpha, t1/2-beta and the area under the curve (AUC). In this respect it should be noted that the term “half-life” as used herein in particular refers to the t1/2-beta or terminal half-life (in which the t1/2-alpha and/or the AUC or both may be kept out of considerations). Reference is for example made to the standard handbooks, such as Kenneth, A et al: Chemical Stability of Pharmaceuticals: A Handbook for Pharmacists and Peters et al, Pharmacokinetic analysis: A Practical Approach (1996). Reference is also made to "Pharmacokinetics", M Gibaldi & D Perron, published by Marcel Dekker, 2nd Rev. edition (1982). Similarly, the terms “increase in half-life” or “increased half-life” are also as defined in paragraph o) on page 57 of WO 2008/020079 and in particular refer to an increase in the t1/2-beta, either with or without an increase in the t1/2-alpha and/or the AUC or both. (In vivo) half-life can be extended by an increase in the hydrodynamic radius (size) or by a decrease in the molecule’s clearance. For instance, (in vivo) half-life extending moieties such as polyethylene glycol or ELNN polypeptides increase the size of the molecules to which they are attached, therefore bypassing renal clearance, and thus increasing the half-life of those molecules. Other (in vivo) half-life extending moieties such as binding units that can bind to, e.g., serum albumin, increase the half-life of the molecules to which they are attached by binding, e.g., to serum albumin. Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein, is highly soluble, very stable and has an extraordinarily long circulatory half-life as a direct result of its size and interaction with the FcRn mediated recycling pathway, see, e.g., Sleep D. et al., “Albumin as a versatile platform for drug half-life extension”, Biochim Biophys Acta, 2013, 1830(12):5526-34. The type of groups, residues, moieties or binding units is not generally restricted and may for example be chosen from the group consisting of a polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecule, ELNN polypeptides or fragments thereof, as described above, serum proteins or fragments thereof, binding units that can bind to serum proteins, an Fc portion, and small proteins or peptides that can bind to serum proteins. More specifically, said one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units that provide the molecule of the present technology with increased half-life can be chosen from the group consisting of a polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecule, ELNN polypeptides or fragments thereof, binding units that can bind to serum albumin, such as human serum albumin, or a serum immunoglobulin, such as IgG, or Fc fusions which might provide extra functionalities in vivo such as HLE via FcRn, immune effector functions via Fcγ receptors. In one embodiment, said one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units that provide the molecule of the present technology with increased half-life is a binding unit that can bind to human serum albumin. In one embodiment, the binding unit is an ISVD. For example, WO 2004/041865 describes ISVDs binding to serum albumin (and in particular against human serum albumin) that can be linked or attached to other proteins (such as one or more ISVDs of the present technology) in order to increase the half-life of the molecule of the present technology. The international application WO 2006/122787, the content of which is herein incorporated by reference, describes a number of ISVDs against (human) serum albumin. These ISVDs include the ISVDs called Alb-1 (SEQ ID NO: 52 in WO 2006/122787) and humanized variants thereof, such as Alb-8 (SEQ ID NO: 62 in WO 2006/122787). Again, these can be used to extend the half-life of therapeutic proteins and polypeptides, and other entities or moieties, such as the molecule of the present technology. Moreover, WO 2012/175400, the content of which is herein incorporated by reference, describes a further improved version of Alb-1, called Alb-23. In one embodiment, the molecule of the present technology further comprises a serum albumin binding moiety selected from Alb-1, Alb-3, Alb-4, Alb-5, Alb-6, Alb-7, Alb-8, Alb-9, Alb- 10 (described in WO 2006/122787) and Alb-23. In one embodiment, the serum albumin binding moiety is Alb-8 or Alb-23 or its variants, as shown on pages 7-9 of WO 2012/175400. In one embodiment, the serum albumin binding moiety is selected from the albumin binders described in WO 2012/175741, WO 2015/173325, WO 2017/080850, WO 2017/085172, WO 2018/104444, WO 2018/134235, and WO 2018/134234, the content of which is herein incorporated by reference. In one embodiment, said one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units that provide the molecule with increased half-life is a peptide that can bind to human serum albumin. In particular the “serum-albumin binding polypeptide or binding domain” may be any suitable serum-albumin binding peptide capable of increasing the half-life (preferably T1/2ß, as defined above) of the molecule (compared to the same molecule without the serum-albumin binding peptide or binding domain). Specifically, the polypeptide sequence suitable for extending serum half-life is a polypeptide sequence capable of binding to a serum protein with a long serum half-life, such as serum albumin, transferrin, IgG, etc, in particular serum albumin. Polypeptide sequences capable of binding to serum albumin have previously been described and may in particular be serum albumin binding peptides as described in WO 2008/068280 (and in particular WO 2009/127691 and WO 2011/095545), the content of which is herewith incorporated by reference. In one embodiment, said one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units that provide the molecule with increased half-life is straight or branched chain poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) or derivatives thereof (such as methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) or mPEG), which increase the hydrodynamic radius of the molecule, thus exceeding the renal clearance and hence rendering the molecule with tuneable half-life extension). Generally, any suitable form of PEGylation can be used, such as the PEGylation used in the art for antibodies and antibody fragments (including but not limited to domain antibodies and scFv's); reference is made, for example, to: Chapman, Nat. Biotechnol., 54, 531 -545 (2002); Veronese and Harris, Adv. Drug Deliv. Rev. 54, 453-456 (2003); Harris and Chess, Nat. Rev. Drug. Discov. 2 (2003); WO 04/060965; and US6,875,841. Various reagents for PEGylation of polypeptides are also commercially available, for example from Nektar Therapeutics, USA, or NOF Corporation, Japan, such as the Sunbright® EA Series, SH Series, MA Series, CA Series, and ME Series, such as Sunbright® ME-100MA, Sunbright® ME-200MA, and Sunbright® ME-400MA. After covalent attachment of PEG, molecules can have prolonged blood circulation half-lives, improved drug solubility and stability, and reduced immunogenicity (Swierczewskaa M., et al., “What is the future of PEGylated therapies?”, Expert Opin Emerg Drugs. 2015 ; 20(4): 531– 536). The PEG may be linear or branched and have a molecular weight from about 1 to about 40 kDa, such as from about 1 to about 30 kDa, or from about 1 to about 20 kDa, or from about 1 to about 10k Da, preferably from about 2 to about 7kDa, more preferably from about 4 to about 6k Da and even more preferably of about 5kDa. The smaller PEG size should enable renal clearance of the PEG moieties, thus bypassing the disadvantages of standard used large 40- 60 kDa PEG. In one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology comprises more than one PEG molecules as described above. For instance, the ISVD of the present technology may comprise 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or more PEG molecules, such as from 4 to 8 PEG molecules, such as from 5 to 7 PEG molecules, such as 6 PEG molecules. In one embodiment, the ISVD of the present technology comprises 6 molecules of linear 5 kDa PEG. Suitable PEG-groups and methods for attaching them to the ISVD of the present technology will be clear to the skilled person. As mentioned, other means of increasing the half-life of the molecule of the technology (such as the presence of linear or branched 40-60 kDa PEGylation fused to human albumin or a suitable fragment thereof), although less preferred, are also included in the scope of the technology. Generally, when the ISVD and/or molecule of the present technology has increased half-life (e.g. through the presence of a half-life increasing ISVD, PEG moieties or any other suitable way of increasing half-life, as described above), the resulting ISVD and/or molecule of the technology preferably has a half-life (as defined herein) that is at least 2 times, preferably at least 5 times, for example at least 10 times or more, such at least 20 times, or at least 50 times, or at least 100 times, or at least 150 times, or at least 200 times, or at least 300 times, or at least 400 times, or at least 500 times, greater than the half-life of the ISVD and/or molecule of the technology without the half-life increasing group, residue, moiety or binding unit (as measured in either in man and/or a suitable animal model, such as mouse or cynomolgus monkey). In particular, the ISVD and/or molecule of the technology may have a half-life (as defined herein) in human subjects of at least 1 day, such as at least 3 days, or at least 7 days, such as at least 10 days, or at least 15 days, or at least 20 days. The skilled person is able to select the HLE moiety based on the desired half-life of the ISVD and/or molecule of the present technology. For certain applications, however, it may be desirable that the ISVD and/or molecule of the technology has shorter half-life (e.g., radio imaging/therapy in a theranostic setting). For instance, the ISVD in this embodiment may be an ISVD-derived ISVD as defined in any one of SEQ ID NO.: 1-78, 173-250, or a polypeptide which has at least 80% identity with a polypeptide as defined in any one of SEQ ID NO.: 1-78, 173-250, preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 90%, or at least 95%, or at least 99% identity with a polypeptide as defined in any one of SEQ ID NO.: 1-78, 173-250. For instance, the ISVD in this embodiment may be an ISVD-derived ISVD as defined in any one of SEQ ID NO.: 1, 3-26, 28-43, 45-75, 78 and 173-250, or a polypeptide which has at least 80% identity with a polypeptide as defined in any one of SEQ ID NO.: 1, 3-26, 28-43, 45-75, 78 and 173-250, preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 90%, or at least 95%, or at least 99% identity with a polypeptide as defined in any one of SEQ ID NO.: 1, 3-26, 28-43, 45-75, 78 and 173-250. Hence, the present technology further provides a molecule comprising or, alternatively consisting of, at least one ISVD as described herein and at least one (in vivo) half-life extending moiety as described herein. For instance, the molecule of the present technology may comprise (i) an ISVD comprising or, alternatively, consisting of SEQ ID NO.: 1-78, 173-250, or a polypeptide which has at least 80% identity with a polypeptide as defined in any one of SEQ ID NO.: 1-78, 173-250, preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 90%, or at least 95%, or at least 99% identity with a polypeptide as defined in any one of SEQ ID NO.: 1-78, 173-250, and (ii) a half-life extending moiety as described herein, such as a serum albumin binding ISVD, and/or a PEG molecule, and/or a ELNN polypeptide or a fragment thereof. For instance, the molecule of the present technology may comprise (i) an ISVD comprising or, alternatively, consisting of SEQ ID NO.: 1, 3-26, 28-43, 45-75, 78 and 173-250, or a polypeptide which has at least 80% identity with a polypeptide as defined in any one of SEQ ID NO.: 1, 3- 26, 28-43, 45-75, 78 and 173-250, preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 90%, or at least 95%, or at least 99% identity with a polypeptide as defined in any one of SEQ ID NO.: 1, 3-26, 28-43, 45-75, 78 and 173-250, and (ii) a half-life extending moiety as described herein, such as a serum albumin binding ISVD, and/or a PEG molecule, and/or a ELNN polypeptide or a fragment thereof. The half-life extending moiety may be covalently attached to the conjugation site on the ISVD either directly or by means of a linker, such as a linker selected from the linkers depicted in Table A-1. For instance, the half-life extending moiety may be covalently attached to the ISVD by means of a linker, such as a 15GS linker (SEQ ID NO.: 113). Targeting moieties As described above, the ISVD may have attached or conjugated, via its one or more conjugation sites or attachment points which is(are) primary amine(s) in the side chain of lysine(s) located at solvent accessible positions, or at the C-terminus, or the N-terminal primary amine, one or more groups, residues, moieties or binding units, optionally attached via one or more linkers, in which said one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units target the molecule of the present technology to target molecules on cells, organs or tissues (“targeting moiety”). For instance, the molecule of the present technology may comprise one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more targeting moieties attached or conjugated to the at least one ISVD. A targeting moiety, as defined herein, is any group, residue, moiety, or binding unit which is capable of being directed through its binding to a target. An amino acid sequence (such as an ISVD, an antibody, antigen-binding domains or fragments such as VHH domains or VH/VL domains, or generally an antigen binding protein or polypeptide or a fragment thereof) that "(specifically) binds", that "can (specifically) bind to", that "has affinity for" and/or that "has specificity for" a specific antigenic determinant, epitope, antigen or protein, or for a specific non-protein molecule, such as nucleic acids (such as DNA or RNA) or glycans (or for at least one part, fragment or epitope thereof) is said to be "against" or "directed against" said antigenic determinant, epitope, antigen, protein or non-protein molecule. Specific binding of an antigen-binding protein to an antigen or antigenic determinant can be determined in any suitable manner known per se, including, for example, Scatchard analysis and/or competitive binding assays, such as radio-immunoassays (RIA), enzyme immunoassays (EIA) and sandwich competition assays, and the different variants thereof known per se in the art; as well as the other techniques mentioned herein. Therapeutic moieties or precursors therefrom As described above, the ISVD of the present technology may have attached or conjugated, via its one or more conjugation sites or attachment points, which is(are) primary amine(s) in the side chain of lysine(s) located at solvent accessible positions, or at the C-terminus, or the N- terminal primary amine, to one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units, optionally linked via one or more peptidic linkers, in which said one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units are capable of exerting a therapeutic activity in the animal or human body (“therapeutic moiety or precursor therefrom”). For instance, the molecule of the present technology may comprise one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more therapeutic moieties or precursors therefrom attached or conjugated to the at least one ISVD. A therapeutic moiety, as defined herein, is any group, residue, moiety, or binding unit which is capable of exerting a therapeutic activity in the animal and/or human body. The therapeutic moiety may also be in the form of a precursor, which then gets activated to exert its therapeutic activity. For instance, a therapeutic moiety according to the present technology may be any therapeutic agent such as a drug, protein, peptide, gene, compound or any other pharmaceutically active ingredient which may be used for the treatment and/or prevention of a certain disease condition. For instance, a therapeutic moiety may be a therapeutic antibody, or a therapeutic ISVD. Imaging moieties As described above, the ISVD may have attached or conjugated, via its one or more conjugation sites or attachment points, which is(are) primary amine(s) in the side chain of lysine(s) located at solvent accessible positions, or at the C-terminus, or the N-terminal primary amine, one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units, optionally linked via one or more peptidic linkers, wherein said one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units are used for imaging purposes (“imaging moiety”). For instance, the molecule of the present technology may comprise one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more imaging moieties attached or conjugated to the at least one ISVD. Examples of imaging moieties are provided in Agdeppa ED, Spilker ME. A review of imaging agent development. AAPS J.2009 Jun;11(2):286-99. For instance, the imaging moiety present in the molecule of the present technology may be suitable for radiotherapy and for radio/fluorescence-guided cancer surgery. For instance, the imaging moiety may comprise radioactive isotopes that can be used for diagnostic and therapeutic proposes. For instance, the imaging moiety may be a contrast agent. For instance, the imaging moiety may be a non- radioactive medical isotope. Toxic moieties or drugs As described above, the ISVD may have attached or conjugated, via its one or more conjugation sites or attachment points, which is(are) primary amine(s) in the side chain of lysine(s) located at solvent accessible positions, or at the C-terminus, or the N-terminal primary amine, one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units, optionally linked via one or more (e.g., cleavable or non-cleavable, peptidic or non-peptidic) linkers, wherein said one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units are able to impart certain toxicity to cells and/or tissues (“toxic moiety” or “drug”). For instance, the molecule of the present technology may comprise one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more toxic moieties attached or conjugated to the at least one ISVD. A toxic moiety which may be attached or conjugated to the ISVD may belong to the “tubulin inhibitor” family (e.g., maytansinoids, auristatins, taxol derivates) or to the “DNA-modifying agents” family (e.g., calicheamicins, duocarymycins). They can also be antibiotics or enzymes. For a review, see Criscitiello C. et al., “Antibody–drug conjugates in solid tumors: a look into novel targets”, Hematol Oncol, 2021, 14:20. Nucleic acids The ISVD may also have attached or conjugated, via its one or more conjugation sites or attachment points, which is(are) primary amine(s) in the side chain of lysine(s) located at solvent accessible positions, or at the C-terminus, or the N-terminal primary amine, one or more nucleic acid such as RNA or DNA. For instance, the molecule of the present technology may comprise one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten or more nucleic acid molecules attached or conjugated to the at least one ISVD. Vitamins Vitamins are also suitable cargos to be attached to the conjugation sites or attachment points, which is(are) primary amine(s) in the side chain of lysine(s) located at solvent accessible positions, or at the C-terminus, or the N-terminal primary amine, present in the at least one ISVD comprised in the molecule of the present technology. Non-limiting examples of vitamins are folate (folic acid), biotin, vitamin C, etc. NUCLEIC ACID MOLECULES The present technology also provides a nucleic acid molecule encoding the ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule) of the present technology. A “nucleic acid molecule” (used interchangeably with “nucleic acid”) is a chain of nucleotide monomers linked to each other via a phosphate backbone to form a nucleotide sequence. A nucleic acid may be used to transform/transfect a host cell or host organism, e.g. for expression and/or production of a polypeptide. Suitable (non-human) hosts or host cells for production purposes will be clear to the skilled person, and may for example be any suitable fungal, prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell or cell line or any suitable fungal, prokaryotic or eukaryotic organism. A (non-human) host or host cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding the ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule) of the present technology is also encompassed by the present technology. A nucleic acid may be for example DNA, RNA, or a hybrid thereof, and may also comprise (e.g., chemically) modified nucleotides, like PNA. It can be single- or double-stranded. In one embodiment, it is in the form of double-stranded DNA. For example, the nucleotide sequences of the present technology may be genomic DNA, cDNA. The nucleic acids of the present technology can be prepared or obtained in a manner known per se, and/or can be isolated from a suitable natural source. Nucleotide sequences encoding naturally occurring (poly)peptides can for example be subjected to site-directed mutagenesis, so as to provide a nucleic acid molecule encoding polypeptide with sequence variation. Also, as will be clear to the skilled person, to prepare a nucleic acid, also several nucleotide sequences, such as at least one nucleotide sequence encoding a targeting moiety and for example nucleic acids encoding one or more linkers can be linked together in a suitable manner. Techniques for generating nucleic acids will be clear to the skilled person and may for instance include, but are not limited to, automated DNA synthesis; site-directed mutagenesis; combining two or more naturally occurring and/or synthetic sequences (or two or more parts thereof), introduction of mutations that lead to the expression of a truncated expression product; introduction of one or more restriction sites (e.g. to create cassettes and/or regions that may easily be digested and/or ligated using suitable restriction enzymes), and/or the introduction of mutations by means of a PCR reaction using one or more “mismatched” primers. VECTORS Also provided is a vector comprising the nucleic acid molecule encoding the ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule) of the present technology. A vector as used herein is a vehicle suitable for carrying genetic material into a cell. A vector includes naked nucleic acids, such as plasmids or mRNAs, or nucleic acids embedded into a bigger structure, such as liposomes or viral vectors. In some embodiments, vectors comprise at least one nucleic acid that is optionally linked to one or more regulatory elements, such as for example one or more suitable promoter(s), enhancer(s), terminator(s), etc.). In one embodiment, the vector is an expression vector, i.e. a vector suitable for expressing an encoded polypeptide or construct under suitable conditions, e.g. when the vector is introduced into a (e.g. human) cell. DNA-based vectors include the presence of elements for transcription (e.g., a promoter and a polyA signal) and translation (e.g. Kozak sequence). In one embodiment, in the vector, said at least one nucleic acid and said regulatory elements are “operably linked” to each other, by which is generally meant that they are in a functional relationship with each other. For instance, a promoter is considered “operably linked” to a coding sequence if said promoter is able to initiate or otherwise control/regulate the transcription and/or the expression of a coding sequence (in which said coding sequence should be understood as being “under the control of” said promotor). Generally, when two nucleotide sequences are operably linked, they will be in the same orientation and usually also in the same reading frame. They will usually also be essentially contiguous, although this may also not be required. In one embodiment, any regulatory elements of the vector are such that they are capable of providing their intended biological function in the intended host cell or host organism. For instance, a promoter, enhancer or terminator should be “operable” in the intended host cell or host organism, by which is meant that for example said promoter should be capable of initiating or otherwise controlling/regulating the transcription and/or the expression of a nucleotide sequence - e.g. a coding sequence - to which it is operably linked. COMPOSITIONS The present technology also provides a composition comprising the ISVD and/or the molecule of the present technology. The composition may be a pharmaceutical composition. The composition may further comprise at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient and/or adjuvant, and optionally comprise one or more further pharmaceutically active polypeptides and/or compounds. HOST ORGANISMS The present technology also pertains to host cells or host organisms expressing the ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule) of the present technology, comprising the nucleic acid encoding the ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule) of the present technology, and/or the vector comprising the nucleic acid molecule encoding the ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule) of the present technology. Suitable host cells or host organisms are clear to the skilled person, and are for example any suitable fungal, prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell or cell line or any suitable fungal, prokaryotic or eukaryotic organism. Specific examples include HEK293 cells, CHO cells, Escherichia coli or Komagataella phaffii (Pichia pastoris, see Bernauer L., et al. (“Komagataella phaffii as emerging model organism in fundamental research”, Front. Microbiol., 2021, 11:1-16)). In one embodiment, the host is Komagataella phaffii (Pichia pastoris). In another embodiment, the host is Escherichia coli. Of course, cell free systems may also be employed to produce the ISVD and/or the molecule of the present technology, as reviewed, for instance, in Gregorio NE, Levine MZ, Oza JP, “A user's guide to cell-free protein synthesis”, Methods Protoc. 2019,2(1):24. METHODS AND USES OF THE MOLECULE The present technology also provides a method for producing the ISVD and/or the molecule of the present technology. The method may comprise transforming/transfecting a host cell or host organism with a nucleic acid encoding the at least one ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule), expressing the at least one ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule) in the host, optionally followed by one or more isolation and/or purification steps. Specifically, the method may comprise: a) expressing, in a suitable host cell or (non-human) host organism or in another suitable expression system, a nucleic acid sequence encoding the at least one ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule); optionally followed by: b) isolating and/or purifying the at least one ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule). For instance, the ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule) of the present technology may be encoded in a nucleic acid together with a Protein A binding building block, so that the the ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule) can be easily purified with Protein A chromatography after expression. Hence, Protein A chromatography can be employed to purify the ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule). Further purification steps such as size exclusion chromatography (SEC) or ultrafiltration and/or ion-exchange chromatography may be applied in order to purify the ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule). To produce/obtain the at least one ISVD and/or the molecule of the present technology, both in genetic fusion or a single polypeptide, the host cell or host organism or cell free system may generally be kept, maintained and/or cultured under conditions such that the (desired) ISVD and/or molecule of the technology is optimally expressed/produced. Suitable conditions will be clear to the skilled person and will usually depend upon the host cell/host organism or cell free system used, as well as on the regulatory elements that control the expression of the protein of the technology. Suitable host cells or host organisms for production purposes will be clear to the skilled person, and may for example be any suitable fungal, prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell or cell line or any suitable fungal, prokaryotic or eukaryotic organism. Specific examples include HEK293 cells, CHO cells, Escherichia coli or Komagataella phaffii (Pichia pastoris). In one embodiment, the host is Komagataella phaffii (Pichia pastoris). In another embodiment, the host is Escherichia coli. Hence, the at least one ISVD and/or the molecule (or part of the molecule) of the present technology can be encoded in a nucleic acid molecule, optionally as part of an expression vector, and expressed and produced recombinantly, as described above.

Alternatively, the at least one ISVD and/or molecule (or part of the molecule) of the present technology can be produced synthetically, e.g., using solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), see, e.g., Jaradat, D.M.M., Thirteen decades of peptide synthesis: key developments in solid phase peptide synthesis and amide bond formation utilized in peptide ligation, Amino Acids 50, 39–68 (2018). As it will be evident to the skilled reader, if the molecule of the present technology comprises one or more ISVDs and, optionally, one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units, as defined above, part or the whole molecule may be encoded in a nucleic acid molecule, optionally as part of an expression vector, as defined above, and part or the whole molecule may be produced synthetically. Once the one or more ISVDs and, optionally, the one or more other groups, residues, moieties or binding units, as defined above, are produced, the cargos may be attached to the at least one ISVD via the attachment points or conjugation sites (preferably engineered conjugation sites or attachment points), as described above. For instance, the at least one ISVD may be expressed recombinantly, as described above, and the cargo(s) conjugated to it via the at least one attachment point or conjugation site, thus rendering the molecule of the present technology. For instance, the at least one ISVD may be produced synthetically, e.g., using SPPS, as described above, and the cargo(s) conjugated to it via the at least one attachment point or conjugation site, thus rendering the molecule of the present technology. For instance, the at least one ISVD and one or more further moieties, such as HLE moieties, may be encoded in an expression vector and be expressed recombinantly, as described above, and the cargo(s) conjugated to the ISVD via the at least one attachment point or conjugation site, thus rendering the molecule of the present technology. The at least one ISVD and one or more further moieties, such as HLE moieties may be linked through a linker, as described in detail above. For instance, the at least one ISVD may be expressed recombinantly (alone or together with, e.g., at least some of the half-life extension moieties), as described above, and the cargo(s) conjugated to it via the at least one attachment point or conjugation site. The cargo may be attached or conjugated to the ISVD (directly or by means of a linker) by reaction of a group present in the cargo/linker (e.g., isothiocyanates, isocyanates, acyl azides, NHS esters, sulfonyl chlorides, aldehydes, glyoxals, epoxides, oxiranes, carbonates, aryl halides, imidoesters, carbodiimides, anhydrides, or fluorophenyl esters) and the one or more primary amines present in the ISVD as conjugation sites (if any). The skilled person is familiar with groups, residues, or moieties able to provide therapeutic properties to the molecule of the present technology, such as pharmaceutically active moieties. The skilled person is also familiar with groups, residues or moieties able to provide specific targeting of the molecule of the technology to desired organs/tissues/cells in the human or animal body, such as targeting moieties. For instance, at least some of the half-life extension moieties, targeting moieties, therapeutic moieties or precursors therefrom described above in the “Cargos” section may be incorporated in the molecule of the present technology as part of a genetic construct, expressed recombinantly, possibly together with the at least one ISVD, as described in detail above.

Of course, combinations of the above mechanisms are possible; for instance, one or more of the half-life extension moieties, targeting moieties, therapeutic moieties or precursors therefrom described above in the “Cargos” section may be incorporated in the molecule of the present technology as part of a genetic construct, expressed recombinantly possibly together with the at least one ISVD, and/or one or more of the half-life extension moieties, targeting moieties, therapeutic moieties or precursors therefrom described above in the “Cargos” section may be incorporated in the molecule of the present technology by attaching or conjugating them to the at least one attachment point or conjugation site present in the ISVD. The skilled person will understand and decide how to generate the molecule of the present technology in light of the number of ISVDs and specific moieties and/or cargos that the molecule will incorporate. If two or more proteins (e.g., one ISVD and one further protein, such as one ISVD, which may be a targeting moiety, which may increase the in vivo half-life of the ISVD and/or molecule of the present technology and/or which may have therapeutic properties) are comprised in the molecule of the present technology, they may be directly linked to each other, and/or may be linked to each other via one or more suitable linkers, or any combination thereof. Suitable linkers have been described above in this description.

Binding kinetics and thermal stability of ISVDs with substituted lysine residues The framework of an ISVD contains three canonical lysine residues, at positions 43, 64 and 75 (Kabat numbering). Point mutations were introduced in three different ISVDs T028501789, T028501817 and T028501805 each time substituting one of the lysine residues with glutamine, histidine, arginine, alanine, or glutamate. The ISVDs were produced in E. coli, purified using protein A chromatography, and buffer-exchanged to D-PBS. To evaluate potential effects of the mutations on the thermal stability, a thermal shift assay (TSA) was performed in a 96-well plate on a qPCR machine (LightCycler 480II, Roche). ISVDs were analyzed in the following pH range: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Per well, 5 µL of ISVD sample (0.8 mg/mL in D-PBS) was added to 5 µL of Sypro Orange (40× in MilliQ water; Invitrogen, Cat. No. S6551) and 10 µL of buffer (100 mM phosphate, 100 mM borate, 100 mM citrate and 115 mM NaCl with a pH ranging from 4 to 9). A temperature gradient (37 to 99°C at a rate of 0.03°C/s) was applied, which induced unfolding of the ISVD, and hence exposure of hydrophobic patches. Binding of Sypro Orange to those hydrophobic patches caused increase in fluorescence intensity, which was measured (Ex/Em = 465/580 nm). The inflection point of the first derivative of the fluorescence intensity curve at pH 7 served as a measure of the melting temperature (Tm). The Tm (°C) values obtained for ISVD variants are given in Table 13. The affinity (KD) of the lead panel clones to their respective ligands recombinant human CEACAM5 (in-house production) and human serum albumin (Sigma catn. A8763) was determined via SPR on a Biacore 8K+ (Cytiva). The experiment was performed at 25°C and as running buffer HBS-EP+ 1 x (GE Healthcare, cat#BR-1006-69) was used. The ligands were directly immobilized (amine coupling) on Flow Cell 2 (FC) of a Series S Sensor Chip CM5 for CEACAM5 and C1 for human serum albumin. Flow rate during activation, immobilization and deactivation was 10 µl/min. An affinity determination was set up with a 9-point dilution series (2500-1.64 nM). Affinity determination was performed using a 1:1 binding fit model. Samples were applied to the respective targets in multi-cycle kinetics for 2 minutes, followed by a constant flow of the running buffer for 10 minutes.

Binding kinetics and thermal stability of ISVDs without or with a single lysine residue Lysine to arginine substitutions were applied to generate ISVDs without lysine residues. Then, one single lysine residue was introduced at variable positions, either a canonical lysine K43, K64 or K75 was reintroduced, or a lysine residue was introduced at different positions (N73K, R45K (or P45K), N73K, Q105K, K fused to the C-terminus). The ISVDs were produced in E. coli, purified using protein A chromatography, and buffer-exchanged to D-PBS. Table 14 shows the thermal stability and kinetic parameters of these single lysine residue variants. The KD of the variants was generally preserved, and the Tm differed dependent on the position of the engineered lysine. This demonstrates that substitution of lysine residues in ISVDs is generally tolerated and that lysine residues can be introduced at a preferred position. Note that in certain ISVDs, lysine residues may occur in the complementary determining regions. Obviously, to obtain an ISVD devoid of lysine residues, also these lysine residues need to be substituted with arginine residues or with any other amino acid residue that is tolerated at these positions in term of thermal stability and preservation of binding.

Reactivity of lysine residues differs dependent on their position in the ISVD framework Acylation of ^-amino group of Lysine residues with an N-hydroxy succinimide (NHS) ester is a common method for bioconjugation. To assess the relative reactivity of lysine residues depending on their position in an ISVD sequence, the TNFα antagonistic ISVD A016600058 was engineered to incorporate a total of nine lysine residues. The ISVDs were produced in E. coli, purified using protein A chromatography, and buffer-exchanged to D-PBS. The impact of the mutations was evaluated and the reactivity of the ^-amino group of each lysine residue and the α-amino group at the N-terminus was determined. The melting temperature of A016600058 and the variants are depicted in Table 16. The variants showed slightly lower melting temperature (0-4°C). R19K, R45K, R83K and Q105K were fully tolerated while N73K and R71K were less tolerated. The functional activity of A016600058 and the variants was assessed in an TNFα reporter assay. HEK293_NFkB-NLucP cells are TNF receptor expressing cells that were stably transfected with a reporter construct encoding Nano luciferase under control of a NFkB dependent promoter. Incubation of the cells with soluble human TNFα resulted in NFKB mediated Nano luciferase gene expression. Nano luciferase luminescence was measured using Nano-Glo Luciferase substrate mixed with lysing buffer at the ratio of 1:50 added onto cells. Samples were mixed 5 min on a shaker to obtain complete lysis. Glo response™ HEK293_NFkB- NLucP cells were seeded at 20000 cells/well in growth medium in white tissue culture (TC) treated 96-well plates with transparent bottom. Dilution series of A016600058 and variants were added to 25 pM human TNFα and incubated with the cells for 5 hours at 37°C. A016600058 inhibited human TNFα-induced NFKB activation in a concentration- dependent manner. The IC50 of A016600058 and the variants is depicted in Table 16. The mutations did not alter the IC50 more than 2-fold, except when R71K and N73K were introduced in the same variant. Table 16.

The ISVD (150 µl at 233.7 µM in PBS) was reacted with either 7.0, 24.5 and 70.0 µl EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-LC Biotin (10 mM dissolved in H2O), or with respectively 2, 7 and 20-fold excess of the biotin reagent. The reaction was incubated on ice for 2h and dialyzed to PBS on a Slide-A-lyzer MINI Dialysis 0.5 ml device 3.5K (Thermo Fisher, catn 88400). The conjugation level of the different amine groups was evaluated by peptide mapping using AspN digestion, peptides separation by reversed phase chromatography and MS/MS detection. The results of the peptide mapping analysis are presented in Table 16. Due to the proximity of K43-K45 and K73-K75, it was not always possible to discriminate which K was conjugated using MS/MS data, resulting in the given ranges. Table 17.

Example 5. Introduction of a unique amine group into amine-free ISVDs Description of the amine-free ISVDs and variants with a unique amine group Amine-free ISVDs were created by modifying three ISVDs (referred to as precursor ISVDs in Table 18), substituting each lysine residue with arginine (indicated by “all_K^R”), and substituting the N-terminal residue with glutamine, allowing pyroglutamation of the N- terminus (indicated by E1Q). Taking the three amine-free ISVDs as a basis, twenty-one variants were created with a re-introduced amine group, by either introducing a single lysine residue (through substitutions at variant positions) or by fusing a glycine to the N-terminus to regenerate a free N-terminal amine. The ISVDs were produced in E. coli, purified using protein A chromatography, and buffer-exchanged to D-PBS (Biointron). Thermal stability of amine-free ISVDs and variants with a unique amine group The thermal stability was assessed as described in example 1. The ΔTm was calculated relative to the precursor ISVD. The Tm of the three amine-free ISVDs differed less than 1°C from that of the precursor ISVDs. From the variants with a unique amino group, the largest impact was generally observed for the substitution of the residue at kabat position 12 (Table 18). Bio-conjugation of amine-free ISVDs and variants with a unique amine group A 3x molar excess of a decanoic acid-NHS ester (Broadpharm, catn BP-24338) was reacted with a 1.5 mg/ml ISDV solution. This relatively low excess of probe was selected to achieve a non-saturating concentration, enabling the ranking of bio-conjugation susceptibility for each variant. The reaction mixtures were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. LC-MS Analysis for Assessing the Extent of Bio-Conjugation Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analyses were performed using a Waters MassPrepTM Micro desalting column (Waters) and a Q Exactive Plus Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific). A gradient from 5 to 90% B in 1.5 min was applied, with 0.1% formic acid in water as mobile phase A, and 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile as mobile phase B. The degree of bio-conjugation was determined on the pyroglutamated variant using the MS signal intensity. The bio-conjugation efficiency of the variants was clearly dependent on the position of the lysine in the ISVD framework. The lysine at position 45 (kabat) was most susceptible, followed by position 108 and 73 (Table 18). Table 18.

Bio-conjugation of ISVDs with two amine groups strategically introduced at optimal positions. Description of an amine-free ISVD and variants with reintroduced amine groups An amine-free ISVD was created by modifying ISVD T042500096, substituting each lysine residue with arginine, and substituting the N-terminal residue with glutamine to allow pyroglutamation. Variants with two amine groups were created by introducing lysines at position 45 and 108 or 73 or 13. A variant with only one amine group at position 45 was included as a control. Another ISVD with two amine groups was created from precursor T042500044 (see example 5) by introducing two lysines in the amine-free variant TPP-134253 at positions 45 and 73. Bio-conjugation of ISVDs with two amine groups A 5x molar excess of EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-LC Biotin (Thermo Scientific, catn A39257) was reacted with a 1.5 mg/ml ISDV solution. The reaction mixtures were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. LC/MS Analysis for Assessing the Extent of Bio-Conjugation The same protocol as in Example 4 was followed, with only the pyroglutamated fraction considered for calculating the percentage of bio-conjugate. The bio-conjugation efficiency of the variants aligned with our previous data from ISVDs containing a single amine group. The control molecule, which has a single amine group at position 45, was efficiently conjugated once, while combinations of amine groups at positions 108 and 73 resulted in efficient double conjugations. As expected, the combination of an amine group at position 45 with one at position 13, expected to be a less favourable position (see Example 5), indeed produced significantly fewer double conjugations (Table 19).
